Title: Value of 16-slice Spiral Computed Tomography Reconstruction for Diagnosis of Bone Trauma at Peacetime and Wartime
Abstract: Objective To evaluate the value of 16-slice spiral CT for the diagnosis of bone trauma by multiplanar reconstruction and three-dimensional reconstruction at peacetime and wartime.Methods 2 148 military and local cases were scanned by 16-row multi-slice CT.Totally 2 859 different parts were imaged.After gathering the primitive axial image data and reconstruction with the level thick 0.625-1.25mm,images were proceeded with MPR,volume rendering(VR)by workstation software,and best-rank angle were chosen to show pathological changes.Results Totally 2 859 different parts were scanned by 16-row MSCT and 2 175 parts were diagnosed as bone fracture and the other 684 parts as dislocation.Of the total,2 834 parts of bone fractures and the dislocations were clearly displayed and 10 parts of rib and 15 parts of nasal bone could not be clearly displayed by 3D reconstruction.After combining MPR images these obscure fracture parts were also diagnosed.Conclusion Diagnostic accuracy of bone fracture and dislocation are enhanced through combining MPR and 3D reconstruction techniques by 16-slice spiral CT at peacetime and wartime,which provides useful information for clinical judgment and treatment.
