Investigation on the use CT to make diagnostic radiographic criteria for atlanto-axial dislocation
Objectives:To investigate the differences of the CT images between normal people and patients with atlanto-axial dislocation
and to scree the most effective radiographic diagnostic indexes.Methods:The CT images of the normal people(n=501)and the atlanto-axial dislocation patients were collected.The anterior atlantodental interval(AADI)
posterior atlantodental interval(PADI)
vertical atlantoaxial index(VAAI)
lateral mass interval(LMI)
rotating angle of atlas on dentata(RAAD)
lateral atlanto-dental interval(LADI)
lateral mass overhang distance
atlanto-axial lateral mass rotating angle of two groups were measured.The various types of the altanto-axial joint dislocation were counted and the statistical analysis was made.Results:AADI
LADI
atlanto-axial lateral mass rotating angles were higher in atlanto-axial dislocation group than in normal group.PADI
VAAI
LMI were lower in atlanto-axial dislocation group than in normal group with significant differences(P<0.01).The area under ROC curve of AADI(0.795)
PADI(0.825)
VAAI(0.821)
LADI(0.890) were high indicating high diagnostic value.If measured value met the following items
it prompted atlanto-axial dislocation:AADI≥2.2 mm
PADI≤15.4 mm
VAAI≤0.65
LADI≥4.4 mm.Conclusion:AADI
PADI
VAAI
LADI
atlanto-axial lateral mass rotating angles are the most effective diagnostic indexes of atlanto-axial dislocation.According the measured diagnostic results
it is important for a surgeon to chose the reasonable treatment.
