Abstract:
Objective To evaluate the CT features and implications of the pericardial sinuses and recesses effusion by combining the sectional cadavers and 16 mttlti-slice CT(MSCT)reformation.Methods The anatomy and communication of the pericardial sinuses and recesses on the axial,coronal and saggital sectional cadavers(respectively 1 case),and the morphologic features on MSCT reformatted images in 104 patients were observed,The detection rate of effusion was analyzed.Results The sectional cadavers and CT images showed that the pericardia] sinuses and recesses were formed by the reflections of the pericardium on the root of the great vessels.The detection rate of the sinuses and recesses was lower in small effusion than in moderate and large effusion(P
