Application value of 16 slice spiral CT and 3D imaging in the diagnosis of trauma

Abstract

Objective To investigate the application value of 16 slice spiral CT and 3D imaging in the diagnosis of trauma. Methods The clinical data of 50 patients with skeletal trauma were retrospec-tively analyzed. Results Twenty patients with rib fracture include 19 cases of multiple rib fractures, 1 case of single rib fracture; patients suspected with rib fracture by X-ray include 15 rib fracture with increased number, 12 pneumothorax, 2 ruled out patients, 1 sternoclavicular joint surface involved by clavicle fracture, 1 pulmonary contusion. Limb bones and articular surface: 3 knee joint fracture, 1 wrist joint fracture, 1 shoulder joint fracture, 1elbow joint fracture, 1 ankle joint fracture; not involved articular surface: 1 tibial fracture, 1 humeral fracture, 1 involved acetabulum, 1 pelvic fracture; changes in acetabular medial fracture could be clearly observed by separating the fracture with joint distraction technique. Foot and hand tarsal fracture include 2 calcaneal fractures, 1 tarsal bone fracture, 1 carpal scaphoid fracture, 1 lunate bone fracture. Four cases of maxillofacial fractures include 2 nasal fracture, 1 mandibular fracture, 1 orbital wall fracture, 1 involved temporomandibular joint surface. Four cases of spinal fractures include 1 cervical spine fracture, 1 lumbar spine fracture, 1 thoracic spine fracture, 1 sacral fractures. Conclusions The application value of 16 slice spiral CT and 3D imaging in the diagnosis of trauma is high, so it is worthy of promotion in clinical.
