ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:The incidence rate of cervical abnormalities of the patients with skeletal class Ⅱ and normal occlusion has been studied abroad, but the researches on the incidence of cervical abnormalities in different malocclusion patients is rare at home. OBJECTIVE:To observe the imaging of patients with cervical abnormalities and to statistics the incidence of cervical abnormalities in different malocclusion patients through analyzing the lateral cephalogram of different malocclusion patients. METHODS:Skeletal class Ⅱ group was consisted of 93 patients, 41 male (aged 18-40 years) and 52 female (aged 22-35 years), with the A point-nasion-B point angle>5°. Class Ⅰ group was consisted of 45 patients, 31 female (aged 20-36 years) and 14 male (aged 17-38 years), with the 1°
ABSTRACT
Objective To study multi-slice spiral CT(MSCT) manifestations of spondyloschisis.Methods 40 patients with spondyloschisis were examined with MSCT scan and 3D reconstruction.Results In the 40 cases,CT scans showed spondyloschisis of the lumbar in L_2(1/40),L_3(1/40),L_4(10/40),L_5 spondyloschisis of the lumbar in L_2(1/40),L_3(1/40),L_4(10/10),L_5(28/40).MSCT displayed:the ring-scission sign(100%),the pseudo-bulging of lumbar intervertebral disc and the elongated sign of spinal canal(95%),and the wavered sign of vertebral body(12.5%).The location,shape of spondyloschisis and the degree of spondylolisthesis were demonstrated by MSCT on multiplanar and 3D.Conclusion The ring-scission sign is the specific sign in diagnosing the spondyloschisis of the lumbar by MSCT.It is of significant value in the detection of spondyloschisis
