Role of MSCT,routing X-ray and CT in forensic identification of fractures / 中国法医学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To compare MSCT with routing X-ray, CT and appraise their applications to fractures in forensic identification. Methods366 cases which had got routing X-ray or CT examination were examined by thin slice scanning with MSCT and all of the data were processed with MPR, see-through and SSD method. Accurate diagnosis rate and misdiagnosis & underdiagnosis rate were calculated and analyzed by Chi-square test. ResultsThe accurate diagnosis rates of MSCT in nasal fracture, rib fracture, limb or joint fracture, orbital fracture and cranial fracture were higher than that of X-ray or routing CT (P0.05). The total accurate diagnosis rates of X-ray, routing CT and MSCT were 59.17%, 70.27% and 99.45%, respectively. There were significant differences (P
