Abstract:
Objective To discuss clinical value of 64-slice spiral CT scanning in fast evaluation of severe multiple trauma.Methods A retrospective study was carried out on data of 72 multiple trauma patients diagnosed with systemic 64-slice spiral CT scanning in our hospital from January 2006 to June 2008.Of all,28 patients with traffic injuries,24 with falling injuries,10 with blunt injuries,6 with stab injuries and 4 with explosive injuries.Results There were 72 multiple trauma patients with mean scanning time of 10.2 seconds.The CT scanning showed both craniocerebral and thoracic injuries in 30 patients,brain injuries in 16,thoracoabdominal injuries plus pelvic injuries in 10,extremity and brain injuries in 14 and systemic soft tissue injuries in 2.Isotropic characteristics and postprocessing function of 64-slice spiral CT scanning could accurately diagnose and evaluate injury severity of multiple trauma.Conclusions 64-slice spiral CT scanning is a fast and effective method for fast evaluating injury severity of multiple trauma,for it can not only shorten checking time,reduce movements of the patients and relieve the pain of the patients,but also can avoid defects induced by respiratory movement and provide fairly integrated imaging materials by its isotropic characteristics and pestprecessing function.
