The research of the diagnostic value of multislice spiral computed tomographyfor small intestinal stromal tumors / 中国医学装备

ABSTRACT

Objective:To evaluate the diagnostic value of MSCT for small intestinal stromal tumors.Methods: The MSCT results of 27 cases diagnosed pathologically as small intestinal stromal tumors were retrospectively analyzed.Results: MSCT scan could clearly show the position, size, shape, fat space, density, calcification, growth pattern of the lesions. Enhanced MSCT scan showed that the arterial phase was significantly strengthened, the venous phase was significantly enhanced than the arterial phase, and the delay phase was significantly enhanced than the venous phase. Low-risk tumors were mainly with maximum diameter <5 cm, regular shape, clear fat gap, uniform density, and intraluminal growth-oriented, while high-risk tumors were mainly with maximum diameter ≥5cm, irregular shape, blur fat gap, uneven density, and cavity shape and mixed growth. The differences were statistically significant (x2=6.64,P<0.05).Conclusion:MSCT can be used as a preliminary judgement for benign and malignant small intestinal stromal tumors and its level, which can guide further clinical treatment and prognosis evaluation.
