Imaging sectional anatomy study on the optic canal by 64-slice spiral CT

This study was aimed to evaluate the application of64-slice spiral CT in imaging anatomy of the normal optic canal. The optic canals of 100 healthy subjects were examined by 64-slice spiral CT,and the imaging measurement of the anatomy structures were performed by the multi-planar reconstruction. The longest and the shorzest walls of the optic canal were the medial wall and the inferior wall, respectively.Results indicate that the imaging anatomic measurement of the optic canal can be accurately and easily performed by means of multi-planar reconstruction of 64-slice spiral CT.
