Title: Application of three–dimensional reconstruction based on 64-slice spiral CT scanning in the diagnosis and preoperative evaluation of neonatal type (III) congenital esophageal atresia
Abstract: Objective To study the clinical value of 3-dimensional(3D) reconstruction based on 64-slice spiral CT scanning data in diagnosis and preoperative evaluation of neonatal type (Ⅲ) congenital esophageal atresia(CEA). Methods The 64-slice spiral CT data of 56 cases with CEA were analyzed retrospectively and correlated to the findings of esophagography and surgery.Results 56 cases were examined by 64-slice spiral CT and esophagography, and 35 cases of type (Ⅲ) CEA undergo operation therapy.The rate of coincidence of diagnostic between 64-slice spiral CT and esophagography was getting very close, and 64-slice spiral CT can clearly reveal the orifice of fistula. Among 35 cases,the distance between the two esophageal extremes of 64-slice spiral CT scanning were coincided with operative findings.Conclusions 64 slice spiral CT 3-D reconstruction is a reliable technique for showing and assessing the distance between the two esophageal pouches,and position of fistula in CEA,and can afford the reliable evidence in the preoperative assessment of neonatal type (Ⅲ) CEA and accurate establishment of surgical plan.
