DiagnosticValue of Magnetic Resonance Imaging Combined with Multi-Slice Spiral CT in Lumbar Fracture
Objective:To explore the value of magnetic resonance imaging(MRI)combined with multi-slice spiral CT in the diagnosis of lumbar fractures.Methods:80 patients with suspected lumbar fractures were examined by MRI and multi-slice spiral CT.Taking the surgical and pathological results as the diagnostic gold standard,the effect and diagnostic efficiency of single and combined diagnosis of lumbar fractures were compared.Results:69 ca-ses of lumbar fractures were confirmed by surgery and pathology,including 24 cases of comminuted fractures,34 ca-ses of compressive fractures and 11 cases of fracture dislocation.The diagnostic sensitivity,specificity and accuracy of MRI combined with CT were 97.10%、63.64%and 92.50%,respectively.The sensitivity of MRI combined with CT was higher than that of MRI alone and CT alone,P<0.05.The accuracy of combined examination was higher than that of single CT examination,P<0.05.Conclusion:MRI combined with multi-slice spiral CT can improve the diagnostic efficiency of lumbar fracture.
