PDFAbstract
Objective To explore the diagnostic value and imaging features of CT angiography (CTA) and three-dimensional dynamic enhancement magnetic resonance vascular imaging (3D-CEMRA) for cervical vertigo. Methods A retrospective analysis of imaging data was carried out in 100 patients with cervical vertigo treated in our hospital from May 2014 to May 2016, including CT, CTA, MRI, 3D-CEMRA. Results There was no significant difference in the detection rate of positive between CTA (88.0%) and 3D-CEMRA (87.0%) (P>0.05). CTA scan showed that 57 cases of vertebral-basilar artery artery thin or tortuous, part of end-piece display was not clear, 23 cases with hyperplasy and cacoepy of uncovertebral joint, 3D-CEMRA showed that 58 cases of vertebral-basilar artery narrow or tortuous, 10 cases were complicated with vertebralbasilar artery slight shift-angulation, 29 cases with intervertebral destabilization and hyperplasy of uncovertebral joint. Conclusion CTA and 3D-CEMRA are important and non-invasive imaging technologies for the diagnosis of cervical vertigo.
