Abstract:
Objective To evaluate the relationship between CT perfusion imaging and clinicopathological features in gastric adenocarcinoma.Methods CT perfusion was performed in 31 cases of gastric cancer diagnosed by endoscopy and biopsy one week prior to operation.After an oral intake of 1000—1200 ml of water and an injection of hypotonic agent,perfusion scan was adopted in sixteen multi- slice spiral CT (MSCT) with 60 s of cine duration.Data were analyzed by a commercial software to cal- culate tumor blood flow (BF),blood volume (BV),mean pass time (MTT) and permeability surface (PS).Microvessl density (MVD) was evaluated by using immunohistochemical staining of surgical specimens with anti-CD34.All these findings were prospectively analyzed and correlated with the clinicopathological find- ings (histological grading,presence of lymph node metastasis,serous involvement,TNM staging and MVD). Results There was significant difference of PS value not only between patients with and without lymphatic in- volvement (P＜0.05),but also in different histological grade (P＜0.05) and TNM staging (P＞0.05). However BF,BV,MTT and MVD of gastric cancer revealed no significant correlation with the clinicopatholog- ical findings above (P＞0.05).Condusion The analysis of CT perfusion imaging in gastric cancer,especially PS value,might be helpful in predicting the prognosis.
