Title: Multi-slice CT multi-planar reconstruction in diagnosis of pedicle torsion of ovarian cysts
Abstract: Objective To investigate the application of multi-slice CT and multi-planar reconstruction in pedicle torsion of ovarian cysts.Methods The clinical data,multi-slice CT and multi-planar reconstruction films manifestations of 15 cases of pedicle torsions of ovarian cysts confirmed by surgery and pathology were retrospectively analyzed and compared with pathological results.Results The multi-slice CT showed cystic mass of ovary in 15 cases,with the mean maximum diameter of 8.73 cm.Eleven cases had thickened walls,and 4 cases did not.The mean wall thickness was 1.75 cm.The thickened wall showed asymmetric,and the greatest thickness parts of it had a striped soft tissue density pedicle connecting with adnexa or uterine horn.Multi-planar reconstruction films could clearly show this characters of pedicle.Nine cases had pelvic effusion or ascites.Conclusion The pedicle torsion of ovarian cysts has some characteristic multi-slice CT findings.Multi-slice CT and multi-planar reconstruction techniques have a high value to the diagnosis of it.MPR could reconstruct images at any plane,so it could make up for the lack of axial CT scanning.
