Title: Application of three dimen sional imaging of spiral CT in diagnosis of bone and joint trauma
Abstract: Objective: To study three dimensional imaging of spiral CT in bone and joint traumas. Methods: Fifty cases were performed pla in film, spiral CT scan and three dimensional reconstruction. Results: Transaxial imaging, together with shade surface display(SSD), volume rendering(VR) and multiplanar reconstrudion(MPR) demonstrated bone fracture in 43 cases. In those patients, 11 cases were not found by X ray plain films. The length, shape and direction of fracture, the form, size and location of detached bone fragments and dislocation of joint were displayed by SSD and VR. Joint disruption and detached bone fragments within joint could be best viewed by MPR. Conclusion: SSD, VR and MPR of spiral CT can afford very valuable space information about bone and joint trauma. Surgeon will be benefit greatly from there usefulness as a method of choice in surgical intervention and planning.
