Abstract:
Objective: To analyze the clinical value of 16-slice CT angiography techniques in cerebral artery lesions. Methods:Forty three cases in our hospital with suspected cerebrovascular disease who performed computed tomography angiography were retrospectively analyzed. Volumetric imaging, maximum intensity projection and multi-planar reconstruction technique for three-dimensional reconstruction process were used in post-processing. Results:There were 27 cases with no abnormal blood vessels, 6 cases with aneurysm, 1 with arteriovenous malformation, 8 with arterial stenosis and 1 with congenital abnormalities. The image quality analysis of cerebral vascular trunk and main branches was 100%performed in 43 cases. The location, shape, size, and the relationship with the surrounding blood vessels and skull of the aneurysm have been clearly shown, and the nidus, feeding arteries and draining veins have also been clearly shown. Conclusion:With the features of safe, fast, non-invasive and clarity in images, 16-slice CT angiography imaging technology can be used as the first choice of screening cerebral arterial disease.
