 PAGE \* MERGEFORMAT 9 MSCT diagnosis of costal cartilage injury Of: Yang Qing Chang Jiang on behalf of Bin Dutao Ming Yang Hongling Hill [Abstract] Objective To discuss the chest MSCT in the diagnosis of traumatic injury when the value of costal cartilage. Methods The analysis of 20 cases of rib cartilage injury cases, MSCT machine after the MPR, MIP, SSD and VR post-processing techniques such as restructuring. Results After the above a variety of joint use of post-processing techniques, 20 cases of rib cartilage injury cases have been given an accurate diagnosis. Conclusion MSCT combined a variety of post-processing techniques used for fairly accurate diagnosis of costal cartilage damage, providing an accurate clinical information normal chest X ray and CT axial scanning and conventional compared to significantly improve the diagnostic level. [Keywords] image processing, tomography, cartilage, damage [Abstract] Objective To discuss the diagnostic value of costicartilage trauma in the chest trauma on multislice CT (MSCT). Methods 20 patients with costicartilage trauma were summarized and analysized. A number of post-processing of images were done with MPR, MIP, SSD ? VR method on the multislice CT. Results After these various post-processing techniques of joint use, 10 cases of costicartilage trauma in both cases were accurately diagnosied. Conclusion On the MSCT these various post-processing techniques for joint use can make quite accurate diagnosis of costicartilage injury, provide accurate information for clinical, and significantly improve the diagnosis compared with chest plain flim and axial CT images. [Keywords:] image processing; tomography; costicartilage; trauma Rib cartilage injury is common in clinical practice in thoracic trauma accounts for a significant proportion, particularly in patients with previous chest wall common blunt injury. However, because of rib cartilage and location of specific anatomical structures, cartilage da
