Abstract

By comparing the R-VR, This paper will evaluate the SFOF-VR imaging applied in the head and neck. Based on the original scanning data, SFOF-VR and R-VR were performed on 35 subjects (including the normal, with variations and/or lesions) from the head-neck CTA examination. Comparisons were made between the image features of SFOF-VR and R-VR in showing the anatomy, variation and lesion in the head and neck. SFOF-VR showed independently or jointly the C0, C1, C2, VA, VVP and their lesions or abnormality with different opacity and colors. In the 35 subjects, there are 6 normal subjects, 16 with variations (7 cases in VA and 9 in AAJ) and 13 with lesions (6 cases with VA arteriosclerosis and 7 with fracture or dislocation in AAJ. Comparisons showed that images of SFOF-VR are more clear and comprehensive than those of R-VR in displaying the normal anatomy and abnormal changes (P < 0.05). SFOF-VR can overcome the R-VR's shortcoming and more clearly show the lesions without overlapping than the R-VR for imaging diagnosis and surgical treatment.
