Clinical diagnostic value of 64-slice spiral CT for thyroid disease

Objective To explore the value of the 64-slice spiral CT in the diagnosis of thyroid disease and improve clinical understanding of it. Methods 64-slice spiral CT was used to scan the focuses. In enhanced scan,we choose contrast medium Ultravist 80 ml,inject intravenously through elbow by power injector at the speed of 2 ml / s,and scaned after 50 s injection. Scanning Scope: from the oropharynx to thoracic entrance level,scan to fully display the mass when necessary.Results CT diagnosis of 166 cases of thyroid diseases confirmed by operation pathology and laboratory tests in our hospital were retrospectively analyzed. The diagnosis accordance rate of 64-slice spiral CT for goiter,thyroiditis,thyroid tumor and abnormal development of thyroid was 87. 7%,90%,84. 4% and 100%,and for thyroid disease was 87. 8%. Conclusion CT can clearly show the morphology,structure and density of the thyroid. When the thyroid tissue becomes cancerous or diseased,iodine storage cells are destroyed,the iodine content in thyroid tissue declines,the CT image shows a low density area,so CT is one of effective ways to check thyroid lesions. The 64-slice spiral CT can provide the most intuitive image data for clinic,more objectively reflect the relationship between the lesions and surrounding tissues,get a higher diagnosis accordance rate,especially for thyroid d ysplasia and other diseases,correctly using the 64-slice spiral CT can provide the reference for the diagnosis and differential diagnosis of thyroid diseases,meanwhile,it can correctly guide the clinical treatment.
