40 cases of multi-slice spiral CT angiography of meningioma.docVIP

 PAGE \* MERGEFORMAT 6 40 cases of multi-slice spiral CT angiography of meningioma [Keywords:] Meningioma Meningiomas are more common primary intracranial tumors account for about 17% more common in middle-aged women. Originated in the meningeal endothelial cells in arachnoid granulations or villi, mostly for single [1,2], this report by surgery and more uniform density of pathologically confirmed 40 cases of meningioma, SCT angiography to analyze the clinical value. 1 Materials and methods 1.1 General information on the 40 cases, 12 males and 28 females. Aged 32 to 73 years, average 46.5 years old. Course of February -5 years. The main symptoms: headache in 16 cases, 10 cases of dizziness, visual disorders, 3 cases limb weakness in 8 cases, nausea and vomiting in 10 cases, six cases of epilepsy, ataxia in 4 cases, deafness in 3 patients. examination: limb muscle strength decreased by 10 cases, papilledema in 8 cases, bilateral Babinski sign positive in 5 cases, optic atrophy in 4 cases, 4 cases of hearing loss, facial numbness in 5 cases. 1.2 The scanning method used GE lightspeed 16 layer CT scan machine, the line scan. Enhanced scan, slice thickness 5mm, the baseline for the Frankfort line scanning, was the image 20, current 100mA, voltage 120kV, window level 40Hu, bandwidth 150Hu, pitch 1.2mm thick dense reconstruction, by the image 50, three-dimensional reconstruction of the input AW4.2 workstations, vascular imaging, including the surface area of #8203;#8203;imaging (SSD, maximum intensity projection (MIP. 1.3 SCTA imaging SSD-CTA imaging of 30 cases, hand-coded exclusion bone imaging in 10 cases, select the image that contains all the SSD tumor imaging, the use of head, face or foot side view of the threshold limit of the selected CT 80 ~ 100Hu.MIP ~ CTA imaging of 30 cases, hand-coded bone imaging in 10 cases, select all the images containing the tumor, the MIP image, the use of head, face or foot side view of the selected window level
