Clinical application of CT virtual gastroscopy combined with 2D CT / 安徽医科大学学报

Objective　To evaluate the value of CT virtual gastroscopy (CTVE) in clinical applications. Methods　52 patients (65 foci of stomach) were examined by CTVE combined with 2D CT, gastrointestinal series (GI) and fibric gastroscopy (FG). The accurate ratio in quantitative, locating, qualitative and staging diagnoses was compared. Results　CTVE demonstrated the diameter of 0.3 cm foci in stomach. The accurate ratio in quantitative, locating and qualitative diagnoses with combination of CT and CTVE was higher than that of GI (P0.05); In staging, CTVE was better than GI and FG. Conclusion　CTVE is a complementary gastric examination, which can replace GI in the diagnosis of common physical gastrical diseases.
