Diagnostic study of multi-slice spiral CT 3D reconstruction and virtual endoscope technology on diagnosing ear temporal diseases / 中国医师进修杂志

ABSTRACT

ObjectiveTo investigate the diagnostic value of multi-slice spiral CT (MSCT) 3D reconstruction and virtual endoscope technology on ear temporal diseases.MethodsOne hundred and forty patients suspected with ear temporal diseases were examined with MSCT,and all the scanned images were 3D reconstructed and processed by virtual endoscopy.ResultsIn 140 patients,97 cases were detected with ear temporal disease,including 58 cases with acute and chronic otitis media,20 cases with artificially cochlear placement evaluation,2 cases with concha and middle ear malformations and 17 cases with temporal bone injury.MSCT 3D reconstruction and virtual endoscope technology could clearly show the location,scope and form of the lesions and structure relationships with nearby tissues.ConclusionsMSCT 3D reconstruction and virtual endoscope technology have important value on diagnosing ear temporal diseases.
