1 Purpose The CT examination is first tool to detect brain ICH or skull bone fracture. But the skull fontanel and suture is developing in infant and child, led to difficult diagnose skull bone fracture. In our case, we provide bone window with MPR and 3D image to distinguish fracture lesion. Material and Methods The Infant or child with head injury suspected brain ICH clinically received brain CT examination. Before performing the CT examination, we have to communicate with family members, that must let the infant or child be quiet in scanning to avoid repeat scan and increase radiation dose, and give the patient lead skirt to protection gonad. With the use of 64 slice MDCT(Brilliance; PHILIPS) and CT protocol: collimation 16*0.625 mm, tube rotation time of 0.75sec, pitch of 0.563, table speed of 0.75mm/sec, 200–230 mAs, and 120 kVp. Raw data reconstruction included soft and bone window image. Results With the helical scan and different post-processing image, the skull bone structure and lesion can be well detected and characterized. The image of infant and child skull bone would be presented. Conclusion MPR & 3D image is a simple method to help diagnose skull bone fracture or suture in infant and child. Therefore, our radiology department formulated the brain CT image at infant or child must extra include axial, coronal, sagittal bone window and VR image to provide clinical diagnose rapid.
