The Application of Surface Anatomy Scanning / 实用放射学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To discuss the application of surface anatomy scanning in the department of cerebral surgery. Methods 24 cases were examined by surface anatomy scanning.These included 5 normal cases,10 gliomas,4 metastasis tumors,3 meningiomas,1 cavernous hemangioma and 1 cerebral infarction.Results 5 normal cases with surface anatomy scanning showed excellent visualization of the sulci and gyri on the surface of the brain.In 19 cases with cortical or subcortical lesions,14 cases showed the relationship between the lesion and the brain surface structures well.5 cases could not displayed because of server edema around the lesion.Conclusion The brain surface anatomy scanning is useful for the localization of cortical and subcortical pathology,for the diagnosis of the disease of sulci and gyri,can partly replace the navigation.
