Evaluation of 3DCT & MPR in Diagnosis of Craniofacial Fractures in Sudanese Population

Abstract

Aims: To determine sensitivity of three-dimensional computed tomography and multiplanar reconstruction in imaging cranifacial fractures in khartoum state 2017.
Methodology: Descriptive, analytical study, were done to show the visualization of craniofacial fracture in 3D and MPR CT imaging in 100 traumatic Sudanese patients.
CT images were acquired using, sagittal, coronal, axial views of the craniofacial bone, the following area and site of the fracture were visualized. Data statistical analyzed were conducted using statistical package for social sciences SPSS (version 16).
Result: 3D-CT scan represented sensitivity of 81.7% of visible craniofacial fractures and 18.3% of non visible craniofacial fractures respectively. MPR on the other hand had a superior sensitivity of a 100% over 3D which was of 81.7%. MPR and 3D both showed a high specificity and sensitivity in diagnosing craniofacial fractures.
