Abstract:
OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the value of clinical application of multiplanar reconstruction (MPR) and volume rendering (VR) with 64-slice spiral CT in the complex midfacial fracture.
METHOD:Forty-six patients with the complex midfacial fracture were examined with 64-slice spiral CT, then MPR and VR were performed in work station.
RESULT:Of 46 patients, there are 366 fractures. MPR imaging clearly showed all (the rate were 100%). VR imaging could show all zygomatic fracture and mandibular fracture (the rate were 100%), but the showed rate were 94.3% in maxillary fracture, 93.2%. in orbital fractures, 13.0% in ethmoid fractures, 55.6% in sphenoid bone fracture,the mean rate were 86.3%. VR imaging could show the fracture location, range, fragment displacement from different direction by rotating picture and demonstrate the course of fracture line and deformities caused by fracture.
CONCLUSION:MPR imaging combination with VR imaging has important clinical value in diagnosing the complex midfacial fracture. 64 slice CT may improve displaying tiny and deep fracture.
