Electron beam CT three-dimensional reconstruction in the diagnosis of bowel obstruction / 医学研究生学报

ABSTRACT

Objective: To evaluate the electron beam computed tomography(EBCT) three-dimensional reconstruction in the diagnosis of bowel obstruction.Methods: Seventy-eight patients suspected of bowel obstruction underwent EBCT with two-phase enhancement scanning and 32 of them were re-established by corona-MPR and sagittal-MPR.All the EBCT results were analyzed and compared with the clinical findings.Results: Seventy-three of the cases were diagnosed as bowel obstruction by EBCT,which were all confirmed by surgery or follow-up,with an accuracy rate of 100% for location diagnosis and 86.3% for etiology.Conclusion: EBCT 3D-reconstruction has great advantages in determining the location,etiology and blood-supply of bowel obstruction.
