СПИРАЛЬНАЯ КОМПЬЮТЕРНАЯ ТОМОГРАФИЯ – СОВРЕМЕННЫЙ МЕТОД ВИЗУАЛИЗАЦИИ ПОСЛОЙНОГО СТРОЕНИЯ ГРУДНОЙ КЛЕТКИ У ДЕТЕЙ

Spiral computed tomography - one of the most informative methods of examination of patients. Layered scanning of the chest allows millimeter accuracy to visualize the features of its structure. Harmlessness of the method contributes to its widespread use even in patients in early childhood. We conducted SKT-examination of the chest in 195 patients aged 4 months to 18 years (in the study included 95 female children and 100 male patients). SCT was performed on the basis of "Regional Children's Hospital" in Rostov-on-Don in the radiology department with CT «NeuViz», Ltd. 16 slices. Co., China with slice thickness of 2 to 6 mm. Scanning was performed in different projections. These scans are recorded in DAICOM on the optical disc. Analysis of the scans were carried out on a personal computer using a program Radiant DICOM Viewer 1.99.21.9398 (BETA). For detailed evaluation of morphometric parameters of the structure of the chest studied sagittal sections of the chest at the level of the lower corner of the scapula, marked clinically relevant dimensions of sections of the skin, lung parenchyma, subcutaneous fat and musculoskeletal frame. Based on the data examined morphometric features of the structure of the chest in children at different ages. The results of these measurements will enable us to simulate the chest in children. Building accurate models of age-appropriate will provide an opportunity to explore the characteristics of the child both in normal and pathological conditions.
