Abstract：ObjectiveTo explore the methods and techniques of CT virtual endoscopy in ear,nose,pharynx, throat and neck vessels.MethodsA sample of 120 cases of head and neck vascular CTVE patients were retrospectively analyzed from June 2014 to 2016 in the department of radiolo-gy of our hospital. The scan slice thickness was 3.0 mm,pitch 1.5,and reconstruction interval was 1.5 mm.Results 23 cases of normal ear,nose,and throat and 3 cases of large cervical vascular were excluded. In the remaining 96 cases with disease in ear,nose,pharynx,throat,out of 91 cases were diagnosed by the fiber endoscopy,the accuracy rate reached 94.79%.ConclusionCTVE imaging as a new image examination method,which can show a clear head and neck images with high quality. In the course of the examination,the choice of parameters of scanning and image reconstruction, the orientation and the threshold,and the operator’s opera-tion technology have a direct impact on the image.
