Application of Three-dimensional Reconstruction in Esophageal Foreign Bodies
نویسندگان
چکیده
This study was conducted to investigate the clinical application of three-dimensional (3D) reconstructed computed tomography (CT) images in detecting and gaining information on esophageal foreign bodies (FBs). Two patients with esophageal FBs were enrolled for analysis. In both cases, 3D reconstructed images were compared with the FB that was removed according to the object shape, size, location, and orientation in the esophagus. The results indicate the usefulness of conversion of CT data to 3D images to help in diagnosis and treatment. Use of 3D images prior to treatment allows for rapid prototyping and surgery simulation.

متن کاملPharyngo-esophageal reconstruction by free jejunal graft and microvascular anastomosis in a 10-year-old girl.
Pharyngeal and upper esophagus substitution is an ordinary procedure in adults, performed mainly for oncologic purposes, but it is rarely done in children. The authors present a case report of a free jejunal graft pharyngo/esophageal reconstruction with microvascular anastomosis to the primitive carotid artery and the internal jugular vein in a a 10-year-old girl who had a loss of lower pharynx...
متن کاملUse of 3-dimensional computed tomography to detect a barium-masked fish bone causing esophageal perforation.
Computed tomography (CT) is useful for evaluating esophageal foreign bodies and detecting perforation. However, when evaluation is difficult owing to the previous use of barium as a contrast medium, 3-dimensional CT may facilitate accurate diagnosis. A 49-year-old man was transferred to our hospital with the diagnosis of esophageal perforation. Because barium had been used as a contrast medium ...
