The Value of Virtual Endoscopy and Multiplanar Reconstruction in Evaluating the Small Intestinal Lesions / 实用放射学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To study the value of CT virtual endoscopy(CTVE) and multiplanar reconstruction(MPR) in the diagnosis of small intestinal diseases.Methods The small intestines in 13 cases with small intestinal lesions were filled with enough air by means of gastro-duodenal tube,after CT volume scans of the small intestine with multi-detector row CT scanner,VE and MPR were reconstructed and analyzed retrospectively.Results 91%(10/11) of the space-occupying lesions of small intestine were found by VE,among them,100%(8/8) of tumors inside the lumen and 66.7%(2/3) of tumors outside the lumen were diagnosed.82%(9/11) of the space-occupying lesions of small intestine were found by MPR.100%(11/11) of the space-occupying lesions of small intestine were found by VE combined with MPR.2 cases with small intestinal inflammatory lesions were also well showed by CTVE and MPR.Conclusion CTVE and MPR are of significant clinical applied value in diagnosing the small intestinal diseases.
