Abstract:
Objective To evaluate the value of clinical application of the three dimensional (3D) and multiplanar reconstruction (MPR) with multislice spiral CT(MSCT) in skull and maxillofacial fracture. Methods Twenty patients with skull and maxillofacial fracture were examined with MSCT, then MPR and three-dimensional surface shaded display (3D-SSD) were performed in work-station. Results MSCT MPR imaging clearly showed all fractures in 20 patients, and were more accurate than 3D-SSD in displaying tiny fracture and fracture of deep structure. 3D-SSD imaging could stereoscopically and directly show the fracture location, type, range, the course of irregular fracture line and fragment displacement. Conclusion MSCT MPR imaging in combination with 3D imaging is of high value in diagnosis and treatment of skull and maxillofacial fracture.
