Research of 16-slice Spiral CT Angiography in Diagnosis of Carotid Body Tumor and Choice of Modus Operandi

Object To study the value 16-slice Spiral CT angiography in the diagnosis of Carotid-body tumor and choice of modus operandi. Material and methods 12 patients with Carotid body tumor were examined with CTA,all performed Volume Rendering(VR)、Maximum Intensity Projection(MIP)、 Multiplanar(MPR)。 Results Situating at the bifurcation of the common carotid artery,the tumors presented is-or high-density mass with defined margin and marked enhancement in CT. Conclusion 16-slice Spiral CT is of great value in the diagnosis of Carotid body tumor and choice of modus operandi.
