Abstract:
Objective To preliminary explore the diagnostic value of Posterior Nutcracker Syndrome (PNCS) with multi-slice spiral CT angiography (MSCTA).
Methods Fourteen patients with PNCS diagnosed by MSCTA, were analyzed retrospectively, reconstructed vessel by volume rendering (VR), multi-planner reconstruction (MPR) and maximum intensity projection (MIP).
Results The location, shape and the relationship with the adjacent vessels in PNCS were showed clearly and accurately by VR, MPR and MIP.
Conclusion MSCTA is a feasible method with highly qualified images, high-speed, exact and economic in the diagnosis of PNCS. I t can provide exhaustive information for treatment.
