 PAGE \* MERGEFORMAT 11 Post-processing multi-slice CT technology in the costal cartilage and ribs disease diagnosis Study: Niu Yujun Zhang Yan Yan Xiaohong Gao Jing Lan Wu Kejian Poplar Hill [Abstract] Objective To deal with multi-slice CT reconstruction clearly shows that after the rib cartilage, rib anatomy and lesions. Methods of clinical scores of patients with emergency chest trauma, rib lesions not found peace piece of slow patient underwent multi-slice CT examination and reconstruction of post-processing . Results reconstruction of post-processing multi-slice CT can clearly show not only the trauma fracture and costal arch costal cartilage fracture, and rib transfer for some cancer patients are caused by bone destruction can be clearly demonstrated. Conclusion multislice CT post-processing techniques (including VR, MPR, MIP, CPR can be a complete display of costal cartilage, rib anatomy and disease and timely diagnosis. [Keywords:] costal ribs spiral CT three-dimensional imaging [Abstract] Objective Through MSCT post-processing show the costal cartilage and costal bone anatomy and affection clearly. Methods Some of thoracic injury emergency patients and normal patients who have no identification for costal bone diseases by X-Ray diagnosis undertake the MSCT and post- processing technique. Results This technique not only showed the costal cartilage and costal arch fracture, but also displayed the destroy of costal bone from malignant tumour ‘s osseous metastasis, it was the base of effective clinical treatment, and can be reduced the medical dispute because of imperfect diagnosis. Conclusion MSCT post-processing technique (including VR, MPR, MIP and CPR) can show the costal cartilage and costal bone anatomy and affection clearly, and can give the diagnosis exactly in time.
