Title: Application of 16 Slice Spiral CT and Postprocessing Technique in Cranial Trauma
Abstract: Objective To investigate optimal reconstruction parameters and methods used in cranial trauma by comparing different reconstruction intervals and kernels with 16 slice spiral CT.Materials and Methods Axial CT scans with 16 slice spiral CT were performed in 72 patients with cranial trauma,the volume data were reconstructed with different kernels H40s,H70h,different reconstruction intervals 1.5 mm,3 mm,9 mm,then comparative analysis between these different displays was made.Results Kernels H70 h with 1.5 mm reconstruction intervals was optimal in displaying cranial bone fracture,kernels H40 h with 1.5 mm reconstruction intervals was optimal in displaying brain contusion,hematoma and subarachnoid hemorrhage.Conclusion The application of MSCT volume scan and postprocessing combined with high resolution and 1.5 mm reconstruction interval,the diagnosis rate of cranial trauma would be significantly improved.
