Abstract EN
The applications of CT examination in the diagnosis of the acute Achilles tendon rupture (AATR) were investigated.
A total of 36 patients with suspected acute Achilles tendon rupture were tested using physical examination, ultrasound, and 3DCT scanning, respectively.
Then, surgery was performed for the patients who showed positive result in at least two of the three tests for AATR.
3DVR, MPR, and the other CT scan image processing and diagnosis were conducted in PACS (picture archiving and communication system).
PACS was also used to measure the length of distal broken ends of the Achilles tendon (AT) to tendon calcaneal insertion.
Our study indicated that CT has the highest accuracy in diagnosis of acute Achilles tendon complete rupture.
The length measurement is matched between PACS and those actually measured in operation.
CT not only demonstrates more details directly in three dimensions especially with the rupture involved calcaneal insertion flap but also locates the rupture region for percutaneous suture by measuring the length of distal stump in PACS without the effect of the position of ankle.
The accuracy of CT diagnosis for Achilles tendon partial rupture is yet to be studied.
