Title: Application value of multi-slice spiral CT for diagnosing rib fracture
Abstract: Objective:To assess the diagnostic value of multi-slice CT(MSCT) for traumatic rib fracture.Methods:CT and 3D reconstruction images of 47 cases of chest trauma were retrospectively analyzed.Two radiologists with 4-year imagiologic diagnosis experience blindly evaluated the images in group A(CT images) and group B(including images in group A and 3D reconstruction) and recorded the results.Results:The total fracture number was 179.The number of fracture in group A and B was 156 and 173 respectively.The fracture detection rate of group A and B was 87.2%(156/179) and 96.6%(173/179) respectively.Conclusion:We can correctly determinate the form and extent of rib fracture and cartilage by 3D reconstruction with understanding of anatomic structure in fracture site.The relevance ratio of occult fractures and cartilage fractures could be raised significantly.
