Evaluation of multi-slice spiral CT in diagnosis of abdominal cocoon / 实用放射学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the value of multi-slice CT in diagnosis of abdominal cocoon.Methods CT findings of six cases with pathologically proved abdominal cocoon were collected and analyzed retrospectively.The three-dimensional imagines were obtained including multi-planar reconstruction(MPR),maximum intensity projection(MIP)and volume rendering(VR)at workstation,the rela-tionships between the lesions and surrounding structure were observed.Results A group of local small intestine were seen gathered in all six cases,the coiled intestine arranged inaccordionshape orbananashape.The fibrous capsule were seen around them with different thickness,which were low density and slightly enhancement.Mesenteric arteries showed abnormal changes,showing ten-sion,aggregation.Conclusion MSCT can provide a wealth of diagnostic information and is the best method of examination abdomi-nal cocoon.
