Abstract:
Objective To examine the feasibility by applying the CT density-difference postprocessing in early diagnosis of middle cerebral artery (MCA) occlusion. Methods The possible MCA occlusion patients were scanned with CT in early stage (within 3 hours) and divided into two groups randomly.Each group included 50 samples and one was processed technologically by CT density-difference and the other one was not.The two groups were scanned once more in 24 hours later and the data being processed by statistical method. Results The results showed that the accurate diagnosis rates were 14.3% within 60 minutes,93.3% from 60 to 119 minutes and 100% from 120 to 180 minutes .In comparing these two groups,there appeared no significant differences in the situation within 60 minutes and there was found significant difference in the other two situations. Conclusion Applying the technology of CT density-difference postprocessing,the middle cerebral artery (MCA) occlusion in early stage might be diagnosed.
