Objective: To investigate the diagnostic value and optimal review time of multi-slice spiral CT for occult rib fracture.Methods: 95 patients with chest trauma who were treated in our hospital from July 2017 to July 2018 were enrolled. All patients underwent X-ray and multi-slice spiral CT examinations during the first examination. The detection rates of X-ray plain and multi-slice spiral CT were compared between the first examination, and the diagnosis of different types of fractures by X-ray plain and multi-slice spiral CT was compared. The number of rib fractures in the reexamination cases at each time period was compared with that at the first examination. Results: The final 86 cases of rib fracture were confirmed in 95 patients. The detection rate of multi-slice spiral CT at the first examination was 95.35%(82/86), which was higher than that of X-ray plain film 82.56%(71/86)(P<0.05). A total of 289 fractures were identified in 86 patients. 246 fractures were detected by X-ray plain film, and 274 by multi-slice spiral CT. The detection rate of linear fracture and depressed fracture by multi-slice spiral CT was higher than that by X-ray plain film (P <0.05). The number of rib fractures examined 11-20 d after injury, 41-50 d after injury and 51-60 d after injury was compared with the number of rib fractures examined at the first time, there was no significant difference between the two groups (P>0.05). The number of rib fractures examined 21-30 d after injury and 31-40 d after injury was higher than the number of rib fractures examined for the first time (P<0.05). Conclusion:Multi-slice spiral CT has a high diagnostic value for occult rib fracture. The detection rate at the first diagnosis is significantly higher than that of X-ray film. The time period from 21-40 d after injury is the best time to review, good results can be obtained. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
