PDFAbstract
Objective To explore clinical efficacy of CT in the diagnosis of ankylosing spondylitis and to evaluate its their application value. Methods Sixty four patients with ankylosing spondylitis admitted by the Bone Surgery Department of the Hospital from March, 2013 to March, 2015 were defined into the control group (n=32, X-ray diagnosis) and observation group (n=32, CT) according to different diagnostic methods, and the detection rate of lesion signs and imaging findings of two groups of patients were compared. Results The detection rates of lesion sign of ankylosis, osteosclerosis of articular surface, adjacent soft tissue swelling of joints, joint gap widening, joint space narrowing, cystic sclerotin degeneration underneath articular surface and articular surface erosion were significantly higher than such indexes of patients in the control group (P<0.05), the differences were statistically significant. The resolution of CT diagnosis image was higher than that of X-ray image. Conclusion CT is characterized with strong sensibility and clear image in the diagnosis of ankylosing spondylitis, and it is capable of accurately detecting lesions and providing scientific evidences for clinical development of appropriate treatment plans.
