Abstract:
Objective To investigate the diognostic value of multi-sllce helical CT(MSCT) in spinal tuber-culosis, and making a further understanding of this disease. Methods The MSCT and post-processing films manifes-tations of 23 spinal tuberculosis proved by operation and pathology were reviewed retrospectively. Results MSCT could show the bone destructions location, range, relationships with neighbor tissues, osseous vertebral narrowing and para-vertebral abscess,etc. MPR, CPR, SSD and VR could more completely and stereoscopically show these character-istics of spinal tuberculosis. Conclusion MSCT post-processing techniques could make up for the lack of axial CT scan. It has high value in elevating the diagnosis accuracy of spinal tuberculosis.
