Clinical significance of standardizing the photographic format of craniocervical CTA

Objective To explore the clinical significance of standardizing the post -processing photos of craniocervical CT angiography(CTA).

Methods Post-processing photos of craniocervical CTA of 30 cases in Sanmenxia central hospital and 30 cases in Henan provincial people's hospital were collected and divided into two groups(group A and group B). The image sequence, expression, and rapid and accurate positioning were evaluated subjectively, and the t-test was used in the two groups.

Results The photographic format satisfaction, positioning speed and accuracy of the blood vessels were statistically significant in the two groups (t=6.30 and 7.01, both P < 0.01). This result illustrated that the photographic format of craniocervical CTA for the rapid and accurate localization of a vascular lesion is more advantageous in group A than in group B.

Conclusion Standardizing the craniocervical CTA photographic format could shorten the interpretation time of clinicians and obviously reduce the error rate.
