Abstract

Objective To make the comparative analysis of the results of Multilayer Spiral CT and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in the diagnosis of Rib Fracture. Methods Choose 46 patients with 156 rib fractures confirmed formerly in total, then diagnose them with Multilayer Spiral CT and MRI separately. Finally compare the results. Results 148 rib fractures was diagnosed by MSCT, with 5 suspicious cases, 3 missed diagnosed cases. 155 rib fractures was diagnosed by MRI, with one case missed diagnosed. Conclusion The diagnose accordance rate of rib fracture was high in MSCT. The rupture of the bone cortex and trabecula can be clearly identified with the applications of thin slices and multiple reconstruction techniques of MSCT. Besides, the formation of the callus and soft tissue swelling could be also discovered in some cases. Acting as an important supplement diagnosing rib fracture, MRI plays a very significant role in displaying the fracture lines, bone marrow edema, hemorrhage and soft tissue swelling. It is of great importance that the combined examination of MSCT and MRI promotes the diagnosis of rib fracture.
