Abstract

Objective To investigate the value of MSCTA and post processing technique in diagnosing hemorrhagic cerebrovascular diseases. Methods 208 cases hemorrhagic cerebrovascular diseases diagnosed definitely from June 2012 to June 2016 were analyzed retrospectively. All these patients accepted Multi-slice Spiral CT angiography scan and cerebral revascularization, including valume rendering(VR), maximum intensity projection(MIP) and multi-planar reconstruction(MPR). The findings were further comparative analyzed with DSA and operation results. Results 159 aneurysms in 138 cases, 48 cases arteriovenous malformations, 22 cases cerebral venous malformations were found in these 208 patients, and the accuracy rate of MSCTA were 92.45%, 93.75% and 86.36%. Conclusion As a simple, reliable and non–invasive technique, MSCTA and post processing technique have high clinical value for diagnosing the hemorrhagic cerebrovascular diseases.
