RESUMEN
Objective:To study the diagnostic value about enhanced CT and gastroscopy for esophageal varices.Methods: Ninety eight patients with esophageal varices were selected as objects. All the patients underwent enhanced CT and gastroscopy, took detailed records of the test results, and analyzed CT scan at the portal vein and spleen vein values.Results: The results of enhanced CT detection and gastroscopy diagnosis were similar in liver cirrhosis combined with esophageal varices, liver cirrhosis combined with esophageal and gastric fundus varices, and liver cirrhosis complicated with gastric fundus varices. The diagnosis of enhanced CT is significant difference (F=33.06,F=20.22;P<0.05) in detection of portal vein value and spleen vein value for mild, moderate, and severe patients.Conclusion: The enhanced CT and gastroscopy for detecting of esophageal and gastric fundus has satisfactory value, and enhanced diagnostic CT for detecting severities of the esophageal and gastric fundus varices also has a important significance.
RESUMEN
Objective To explore patients' recognition and demand for enhanced-CT examination-related knowledge. Method A self-designed questionnaire was used to investigate the recognition and demands for the knowledge among 295 patients who receiving enhanced-CT examination for the first time. Results The awareness rate of enhanced-CT examination related knowledge was 19.0%~51.5%and the demand rate was 62.4%~87.1%. The routes by which the patients acquired the knowledge included lecturing by medical staff personnel, reading the handouts and watching video. Conclusions The level of patients'recognition about the enhanced-CT examination related knowledge is low, but their demands for it is high. Therefore, the medical personnel should improve patients'awareness of enhanced-CT examination related knowledge in various ways.
