 PAGE \* MERGEFORMAT 9 DR dual-energy subtraction technique in the application of rib fracture examination [Abstract] Objective To investigate the digital X-ray photography of the dual-energy subtraction in the rib fracture diagnosis. Methods 80 cases of rib fractures were chest digital X ray dual energy subtraction examination, each patient were given standard image, soft tissue and bone tissue as like. Comparison of standard image and the bone tissue image display rate of rib fractures. Results 80 patients with rib fractures were found in 116, the standard image of the axillary rib bone tissue fold as the display rate was 83.2%, 98.5 %. hypochondrium as shown bone, scapula and rib fracture, diaphragmatic overlap clearly than the standard chest X-ray and can clearly show multiple rib fractures. Conclusions DR dual-energy subtraction technique in the diagnosis of rib fractures has important value, such as bone can significantly improve the display rate of rib fractures. [Keywords:] digital X-ray photography, dual energy subtraction, rib fractures X-ray examination is the first choice of rib fracture means, from the traditional screen - film X-ray photography to a computer (computed radiography, CR) and digital X-ray photography (digital radiography, DR) Clinical application of the diagnostic value of plain film upgraded to a new stage. as a senior applications DR, dual energy subtraction (dual energy subtraction, DES), with the technological advances developed. dual-energy subtraction image data by computer subtraction processing reconstruction of the bone and soft tissue images images, you can more clearly show lung tissue, ribs and other fine structure. In this paper, dual-energy subtraction technique on 80 patients with rib fractures in patients with chest examination, routine chest X-ray and bone tissue compared like for display rate of rib fractures, dual energy subtraction of rib fractures in the clinical diagnosis. 1 Materials and Methods
