Title: Application of 3D Multislice CT in Diagnosis of Costicartilage Fracture
Abstract: Objective:To investigate the value of multislice CT(MSCT)in diagnosis of costicartilage fracture.Methods:MSCT volume scanning was performed in 12 thoracic trauma patients who were suspected of costicartilage fracture.All images were reconstructed into thin slices and transferred into 3D workstation.Images such as volume rendering(VR),maximum intensity projection(MIP),multiplanar reformation(MPR) were obtained.Results:All reconstruction images could show the costal cartilage clearly.In 12 thoracic trauma patients,14 costicartilage fractures and 19 rib fractures were revealed by MSCT,3D reconstruction images can effectively and clearly reveal the costicartilage fracture line,number of fracture and displacement.Conclusion:3D reconstruction technique of MSCT can display the position and pattern of costicatilage fracture clearly,which is a new method to diagnose costicartilage fracture.
