Abstract:
Objective To investigate the value of application of multi-slice helical CT(MSCT) indiagnosis of basicranial fracture. Methods Sixty-two patients with basicranial fracture were scanned withthin-section scanning mode after conventional CT scanning The images were transferred to the work-station for reconstruction including multiplanar reconstruction (MPR), volume rendering (VR). Comparison between thin-section scanning images and conventional CT scanning images were performed. Results Compared with the conventional CT scanning (67.9% and 45.0% respectively),the rates of fracture displayed of images acquired from thin-section scanning in diagnosis of fractures of anterior and middle cranial fossa (100.0% and 95.0% respectively) ,P＜0.01. The two scanning mode in diagnosis of fractures of posterior cranial fossa( 88.9% and 100.0% respectively )differed from each other unstatistically(P＞0.05 ). ConclusionThe thin-section scanning of MSCT can improve the diagnostic correctness of basicranial fracture.
