 PAGE \* MERGEFORMAT 6 Paraquat poisoning CT manifestations in patients with chest injury [Keywords:] paraquat poisoning, damage to the chest CT Paraquat (paraquat, PQ), also known as Paraquat or Diquat normal use of the human body does not produce harm, but the use of improper operation of the process, wrongly or suicide to take more than the body can cause serious organ damage, especially the most common injury in the lung. We passed on the seven cases of paraquat poisoning in patients with chest CT scan and follow-up review, analyze its CT sign as to increase the damage of paraquat poisoning, chest CT show understanding. 1 Data and methods 1.1 General Information Right from 2004 to 2007 admitted to our hospital seven cases of paraquat poisoning patients with CT data were analyzed retrospectively. In which 2 males and 5 females, aged 16 to 38 years old, with an average 26-year-old, both oral paraquat poisoning, the dose of 10 ~ 40ml. 2 patients died after treatment, 3 cases of left pulmonary interstitial fibrosis, two cases of full recovery. 1.2 Methods The course of treatment with GE lightspeed 16-slice spiral CT for cross-sectional scanning, slice thickness and spacing are 10mm. Some cases local line high-resolution CT (HRCT) scan, pitch 1, tube voltage 120kV, current 100mA, slice thickness 2mm, spacing are 10mm. And through post-processing techniques AW4.2 workstation coronal and sagittal reconstruction. 2 Results Paraquat poisoning at different times, the performance of patients with chest CT images have different and specific in Table 1. CT manifestations in patients with major chest: ① ground-glass opacity: lungs showed localized or diffuse homogeneous increased density of the fuzzy shadow. Under a two-zone distribution of the lung and abroad are obvious. ② pulmonary effusion, and consolidation Shadow: The distribution of pulmonary segments or lobes triangular or wedge-shaped high-density shadow, especially in lungs more common lower lobe bas
