Abstract: Objective To assess the clinical application of spiral CT 3D reconstruction in forensic diagnosis of rib fracture. Methods Thirty-five cases of rib fractures were collectively studied by X-ray, regular CT scan, and adoptive 3D reconstruction with spiral CT. Results Clear and stereoscopic images of rib fractures without interference of the surrounding soft tissue were obtained in all of 35 cases examined. Conclusion Spiral CT 3D reconstruction could be a valuable means in forensic diagnosis of rib fracture.
