Abstract:
Objective To assess the diagnostic value of three-dimensional(3D) helical CT imaging in the cases of complex maxillofacial fractures and to discuss the clinical usefulness of 3D to surgeons.Methods 26 patients with trauma suspected of having complex facial fractures were examined with thin-slice CT scan and 3D reconstruction.Results The location,shape and displacement of fragment of complex maxillofacial fractures were demonstrated steroscopically by three-dimensional images reconstructed from helical CT.Conclusion 3D helical CT imaging can provide valuable information in demonstrating the space relationships of maxillofacial fractures.
