Objective: To investigate the influence of improved exposure parameters on the image quality of multi-slice spiral computed tomography in nasal bone fracture imaging., Methods: Fifty patients with optimised parameters combined with coronal scanning were allocated to the modified group and 50 patients with routine scanning parameters to the routine group. The image quality and nasal bone display of the two groups were assessed and statistically analysed, and the quality of scanned images before and after parameter optimisation was compared., Results: The optimised image quality was better than that of conventional scanning parameters. The parameters used were 120 kv, 180 mA, a layer thickness of 0.625 mm, a layer spacing of 0.312 mm, a pitch of 0.516:1, a frame speed of 1 s, a scanning field of 12 cm and a reconstructed layer thickness for scanning of 0.625 mm; the scanned image was clear, and the parameter optimisation was achieved. This ensures that the annotation data in ITK labelling is more accurate., Conclusion: The optimised parameters and scanned coronal plane show the nasal bone and its surrounding structures more comprehensively, which is of high diagnostic value for nasal bone fractures. The three-dimensional annotation data based on ITK is more standardised, laying a foundation for the subsequent research of artificial intelligence modelling., (Copyright© Bentham Science Publishers; For any queries, please email at epub@benthamscience.net.)
