Abstract

Objective To evaluate the diagnostic value of 16-slice spiral CT and its post-processing techniques in adhesive intestinal obstruction. Methods Clinical data of 48 cases of adhesive intestinal obstruction revealed by plane and contrast-enhanced 16-slice spiral CT manifestations and MPR post-processing techniques were analyzed and compared with the results of surgical findings and pathology. Results Among the 48 cases Both axial and MPR images correctly depicted the presence of intestinal obstruction. Based on CT axial view,the site of intestinal obstruction were determined in 38(81.2%), while the combination with MPR images improved the diagnostic performance to 45(93.8%). Both axial and MPR images correctly revealed the presence of intestinal ischemia or strangula-tion in 7 (87.5%)patients. Conclusion 16-slice spiral CT and its post-processing techniques have an important clinical value in evaluating the site and the circulation status of adhesive intestinal obstruction.
