두 안면부에서의 전산화 단층촬영 (C-T)의 진단적 의의 = Computerized Tomogram (C-T)in Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery : A Preliminary Report

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Computerized Tomogram is relatively new diagnostic technique,which relies on computer technology and application of wide operative and reconstructive algorithms to view areas of interest from multiple planes.(axial,coronal,sagittal,and obligue)
C-T has changed neurological,neurosurgical and radiological practice beyond recognition.This paper tries to demonstrate the diagnostic possiblity and limitation of C-T in facial skeletal lesion of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery.Clinical application at our institution has been used C-T in preoperative evaluation of orbital blow-out fracture,multiple facial bone fracture,and congenital mid-facial anomalies respectively.
The result was summarized as follows,
1)In facial bone fracture,especially involving naso-obital-ethmodual complex area C-T was more useful to accurate evaluation for the nature and degree of soft and hard tissie than other classical radiological technique.
2)C-T was exclusively valuable in preoperative diagnosis and surgical plaining of congenital mid-facial anomaly because of good visualization of skeletal anomalies and soft tissie structure.
