 PAGE \* MERGEFORMAT 15 Multi-slice spiral CT three dimensional reconstruction of vascular lesions in the spinal area value of preoperative assessment [Key Words] multi-slice spiral CT; three-dimensional reconstruction; CT angiography; canal; surgery Spinal canal area is the human anatomy and blood circulation of the most complex part of one of the surgical treatment of lesions in the area there is a big risk in postoperative complications. Because of the spinal cord blood supply vulnerable to such spinal tumors, spinal cord vascular disease, trauma, or surgical treatment of aortic aneurysms influence, leading to insufficient blood supply to the spinal cord and even paralysis, so cases preoperative spinal vascular, lesion size, size, scope, and the anatomical structure surrounding the relationship between the reduction of surgery significant complications [1]. Multi-slice spiral CT three-dimensional vascular reconstruction (three-dimensional multislice spiral computed tomography angiography, 3D-MSCTA) in the 20th century, 90 years of clinical application of spiral CT developed on the basis of a new three-dimensional imaging technique is based on the blood circulation time intravascular contrast agent in the target peak of the spiral scan volume of data collected, and then added three-dimensional images obtained after the processing method. With a simple and quick, informative, dimension, cost advantages, are now widely used in clinical. 1 spinal imaging modality commonly used comparison 1. 1 3D-MSCTA with the traditional two-dimensional image by current clinical multi-dimensional images such as MRI, CT, DSA to obtain lesions of the spinal canal associated with the image information, display a variety of fine structure, but each method are has its limitations. If CT scan of the vertebrae have better resolution, but even on the soft tissue lesion itself can not display; MRI can clearly show though various soft tissue information, with excellent sof
