Abstract:
The early diagnosis, efficacy and prognosis evaluation of digestive malignant neoplasms are still difficult problems in the medical field. CT texture analysis (CTTA) is a new imaging post-processing technique, also an emerging area of radiomics. In recent years, CTTA has been widely used in digestive system neoplasms' classification, treatment efficacy evaluation, survival assessment and so on, having more advantages than conventional morphological evaluation. The application progresses of CTTA in diagnosis of digestive malignant neoplasms were reviewed in this article.
