ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the diagnostic value of helical CT in superior mesenteric vein(SMV) thrombosis.Methods Characteristic CT appearances of SMV thrombosis verified by clinic in 13 patients were retrospectively analysed.Precontrast and postcontrast CT scan were performed in all patients.After the data were acquired,they were transferred to workstation for maximum intensity projection of muti-plane.Results Hyperaemia and edema of the mesentery could be seen in all patients.After administration of contrast material,the filling defects of SMV could be showed in 8 cases,and the distal SMV was occluded in other patients.The thrombi could be directively showed by CT,but distended bowel loops,bowel wall thicking with or without the target sign,absent or poor enhancement of the bowel wall,and the pneumatosis at interbowel were showed by CT,the later two findings were more important and specific signs of ischemic bowel.There was not directively relation between bowel necrosis and the thrombus was whether or not localized at main SMV.Conclusion Helical CT is a important modality for the diagnosis of SMV thrombosis.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the application value of spiral CT spinal cord and intervertebral disk 3D recontruction in vertebra trauma.Methods 78 patients with vertebra trauma were examined by CT axial, the primal date of each were retrospectively inserted and reconstructed, all the cases use 3D,SSD and sagittal MPR, compared with routine 2DCT.Results Spinal cord was normal in 23 cases.Spinal cord was pressed in 39 cases.Spinal cord was transected in 16 cases.Intervertebral disk was damaged in 38 cases.Conclusion Spiral CT can do spinal cord and intervertebral disk 3D reconstruction , it can show vertebra trauma and display intervertebral disk damage intuitionistically,which has instruction in making reasonable cure project and judging cure effect.
