AI Article Synopsis

  • The study aimed to assess how effectively 64-slice MDCT contrast-enhanced scanning can diagnose maxillofacial soft tissue hypervascular tumors by evaluating their imaging features and diagnostic abilities.
  • A retrospective analysis of 21 cases revealed a high diagnostic accuracy of 90.48% for the 64-MDCT scans, with sensitivity at 83.30% and specificity at 72.73%, using pathological results as the gold standard.
  • The findings suggest that 64-MDCT can effectively evaluate blood supply in these tumors pre-surgery, potentially reducing blood loss and aiding in treatment planning.

Article Abstract

Objective: To evaluate the diagnostic ability and clinical imaging features in maxillofacial soft tissue hypervascular tumours by 64-slice multidetector spiral computed tomography (64-MDCT) contrast-enhanced scanning.

Methods: In a retrospective study of 21 cases of hypervascular tumours, the degree of blood supply and indexes were assessed, and the pathological results were used as the diagnostic gold standard to evaluate the sensitivity and specificity of 64-MDCT plain scan and enhanced CT in the diagnosis of oral and maxillofacial soft tissue hypervascular tumours, using the receiver operating characteristic curve to analyse and evaluate the efficacy.

Results: Among 21 patients, the diagnostic accuracy of 64-MDCT contrast-enhanced scan was 90.48%, the area under the curve of venous phase CT value was 0.80, the sensitivity was 83.30% and the specificity was 72.73%.

Conclusion: 64-MDCT contrast-enhanced scan can be used to evaluate the blood supply of maxillofacial soft tissue hypervascular tumours before an operation. The CT value in the venous phase of tumours has the highest diagnostic effectiveness, which can reduce the risk of blood loss during surgery for maxillofacial hypervascular tumours. In addition, it has certain guiding significance for the formulation of clinical treatment plans.
