Objective To investigate the value of multi-slice spiral CT 3D reconstruction in the diagnosis of vertebral fracture. Methods Sixty patients with traumatic vertebral fracture were selected as study subjects. All subjects underwent vertebral X-ray plain film, magnetic resonance imaging and MSCT multiplanar reconstruction,3D surface reconstruction and volume rendering examination. The differences in detection rate of vertebral fracture, accuracy rate in diagnosis of fracture location, fracture types and complication with spinal stenosis among them were recorded and analyzed. Results All fractured vertebral segments in 60 subjects were detected by MSCT 3D reconstruction (100.0%). The accuracy in diagnosis of fracture location and complication with spinal stenosis was 100.0% while in diagnosis of stable fracture and burst fracture were 97.2% and 95.8% respectively, significantly higher than those of X-ray plain film examination (P<0.05) and slightly higher than MRI (P>0.05). Conclusion MSCT 3D reconstruction technique can effectively improve the detection rate and diagnostic accuracy of vertebral fracture, which is good for the successful implementation of targeted treatment.
