Routine observation of axial CT alone has some limitations, multi-slice spiral CT (multislice computed tomography, MSCT) with its advanced scanning technology and powerful features make up for the lack of restructuring. We collected 28 patients with 16-slice spiral CT diagnosis of maxillofacial fractures in the data, to explore the different image reconstruction methods in the diagnosis of maxillofacial fractures in value. 1 Materials and methods The group of 28 patients with maxillofacial fractures in patients, 23 males and 5 females, ages 16 to 58 years. Traffic accident in 19 cases, fall injury in 3 cases, 6 cases of blunt injury. Use GEBright Speed 16 spiral CT scanner. Patients supine position, the scan range from the mandibular angle to the eyebrow. scan parameters: 120 kV, 250 mAs, slice thickness 5 mm, pitch 1.375:1, bed-speed 27.50 mm / r. Scan data into the image reconstruction GEAW 4.3 workstation. Recombination: MPR (multi planar reconstruction, MPR) and volume rendering techniques (volume rendering technique, VR). Reorganization thickness 1.25 mm. The combination of MPR and VR images, Transformation of different rotation angles and cutting in different directions so that the fracture site, fracture of the fracture line course and scope of the best shows. 2 Results 2.1 maxillofacial maxillofacial complex fractures were 20 cases of compound fractures. Figure 1,2 (see cover 4), of which 1 patient is shown in the upper and lower jaw, multiple orbital fractures .16 level CTVR image on the upper and lower jaw crushing fracture location, extent, and displacement of bone fragments of the infraorbital foramen, the involvement of paranasal sinuses are shown clearly, in particular, take the line of fracture line and post-traumatic deform
