Objective To assess the value of low dose CT scanning applied in nasal sinus examination. Methods 100 cases were divided into two groups,including youth group and adult group,with 50 cases for each group.After scanned by standard dose(150mAs),all the patients were scanned with low dose. Those in youth group were scanned with 40mAs and 25mAs,and the others in adult group were scanned with 50mAs and 30mAs.CT images were evaluated by three doctors using blind method.The image quality was evaluated according to 3 grades:normal image,image with mild artifact,and image with serious artifact and the results were analyzed statistically. Results The CTDlw of low-dose CT scanning was obviously lower than that of standard dose(P

Objective To investigate the correlation between CT grading and prognosis of hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy(HIE),and with the diagnostic value of CT findings and followed-up.Methods 49 neonates from 1 month to 1 year with HIE whose CT findings and followed-up results and clinic were retrospectively analyzed.Results Among 49 cases,the clinical follow-up showed that the hypodense foci induced by HIE were absorbed and disappeared completely within 1～3 months after birth.10 neonates presented external hydro-cephalous at 1～3 months after birth and then that was absorbed after 6 months to 1year of age.In 3 months,the part poor moderate HIE in the neonates might cause the leukomalaria,while severe HIE might cause the cerebral malaria and atrophy within 1 month after birth.Conclusion The prognosis of HIE is closely related to the degree of abnormal manifestations on CT.Intracranial lesions were favorable in the mild HIE,good in the moderate ones and bad in the severe ones.If there were bleeding in ventricles,the prognosis would be more poor.
