ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the imaging features of gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST) and its diagnostic value. Methods The clinical and imaging data of 41 patients with GIST proved by operation and pathology were analysed. Results Tumors located in the stomach in 20 cases, small bowel in 5 cases, rectum in 3 cases, esophagus in 2 cases and extra gastrointestinal sites in 11 cases. There were 27 malignant GIST diagnosed by imageologic examination,of them, 21 mass exceeded 5 cm in diameter, margins were vague, 19 cases had obvious adhesion or directly involved with around tissue,13 cases with obvious necrosis and cystic changes within the mass. 5 cases with metastase focus.Benign GIST in 14 cases, 11 cases were less than 5 cm in diameter, most of them had smooth margin,homogeneous density and symmetrical enhancement effect.Conclusion X-ray gastrointestinal double contrast radiography examination finds easily inside antrum and inside-and-outside antrum type GIST; CT examination offsets deficiency of general gastrointestinal radiography. It is valuable in localizing precisely, judging benign and malignantin, guiding clinical therapy and estimating prognosis for GIST.
ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the value of diagnose of colon carcinoma by colonoscopy and double contrast radiography.Methods The results and data of radiography diagnosis,colonscopy diagnosis,biopsy and post-operation pathology were analyzed retrospectively.Results The rate of accordance by X-ray diagnosis was 85.4%,colonscopy 80.5% and biopsy 84.6%.Conclusion The method of examination of colon double contrast radiography preceeds to colonoscopy examination when the patients were suspected suffering from the right colon or left colon carcinoma accompanying by masses;colonoscopy is the first method of diagnosis to choose when the patients were suspected suffering from carcinoma of sigmoid colon or colon polyps undergoing malignant changes.
ABSTRACT
Objective To summarize clinical imaging characters of the gastric lymphoma in gastroscopy and double contrast radiography of upper gastrointestinal tract.Methods We reviewed 24 cases of gastric lymphoma from January 1996 to June 2006 and analyzed their endoscopic and X-ray features,as well as their pathological results.Results The most frequently involved parts were gastric body(75%,18 cases) and antrum(67%,16 cases).The most common changes were: ①ulcer(71%,17 cases),especially multiple shallow ulcers which had different forms;②nodular protuberance(67%,16 cases),sometimes submucous giant protuberance;③giant duplicature(54%,13 cases);and ④involvement spreading along the gastrointestinal tract(21%,5 cases).Conclusions The characters of gastric lymphoma are ulcer,nodular protuberance,giant duplicature,and so on.The combination use of gastroscopy,radiography,endoscopic mucosal resection,endoscopic ultrasound,and laparoscopy is important for definite diagnosis.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To improve the diagnostic accuracy of double contrast radiography of small and micro gastric carcinoma.Methods:The X-ray findings of small gastric carcinoma(9 cases)and micro-gastric carcinoma(3 cases) proved by surgical pathology were analyzed and compared with pathologic finding.1 misdiagnosed cases and 1 missed cases were analyzed.The double contrast films of acute gastric ulcer were reviewed and differentiated with SGC and MGC.Results:8 cases were examined by the double contrast procedure before gastroscopy,4 were diagnosed small gastric carcinoma,1 was diagnosed micro-gastric carcinoma,1 was misdiagnosed ulcer and 1 was missed,1 was suspected of being carcinoma.4 were examined by the double contrast procedure after gastroscopy,2 were small gastric carcinoma and 1 was micro-gastric carcinoma,which accorded with gastroscopy finding.One of micro-gastric carcinoma missed by gastroscopy was detected by DC.Conclusion:The imaging method of double contrast examination is the most effective one in detecting and diagnosing early gastric cancer.The detecting rate should be obviously increased by combining with gastroscopy closely.
