Abstract:
Objective To evaluate the diagnostic value of preoperative MRI for advanced gastric cancer and metastasis. Methods MRI was preoperatively performed in 36 patients with advanced gastric carcinoma by the superconductive type of magnetic resonance imaging instrument through a single breath holding fast scan sequence, the results were correlated with the intraoperative and histopathologic findings.[WT5”HZ] Results[WT5”BZ] The correct rate of localization and qualitative determination in gastric carcinoma by MRI were both 100%. The displaying rate of metastatic lymph notes was 83%(25/30), and the correct diagnostic rate was 73%(35/48) for metastasis or invasion to adjacent abdominal organs.[WT5”HZ] Conclusions[WT5”BZ] Gastric carcinoma shows characteristic MRI pictures, hence MRI examination has the advantage of diagnosing gastric cacinoma, its spreading, even metastasis of lymph nodes.
