Title: The value of multi-slice spiral CT in diagnosing rib fracture
Abstract: 【Objective】To explore the value of post-imaging treatment of MSCT(multi-slice spiral CT)in the diagnoses of rib fracture.【Methods】Fifty cases with thoracic trauma were examined with MSCT and CR examination,and reconstructed in a variety of ways.The location,number and circumjacent pathological changes were observed and analyzed.【Results】121 rib fracturea in 50 patients was found by CR,while 162 rib fracturea with MSCT.MSCT axial images,coronary and sagittal reconstruction images as well as MPR images could show clearly the fracture line,the number of fracture,displacement and an the condition of headling.Meanwhile trauma of the surrounding tissue and other viscera could also be shown clearly.VR images could detect the fracture position accurately.【Conclusions】MSCT exam is superior to CR in detecting rib fractures.It shows clearly the orientation,determines the nature,the condition of trauma of surrounding tissue and other viscera.MSCT has important value in clinical treatment,industrial injury and forensic medicione.
