The purpose of this retrospective study was to determine whether multiphasic dynamic multidetector CT (MDCT) can help differentiate EGC-Us from AGCs.
METHODS: Patients with EGC-Us with ulcer stages Ul-III or IV and AGCs with tumour stages T2 to T4a were enrolled. MDCT images were obtained 40 s (arterial phase), 70 s (portal phase) and 240 s (delayed phase) after injection of non-ionic contrast material. Two readers independently measured the attenuation values of the lesions by placing regions of interest. We compared the EGC-Us and AGCs using the mean attenuation values in each phase and peak enhancement phase. We analysed the diagnostic performance of CT for differentiating EGC-Us from AGCs.
RESULTS: Forty cases (16 EGC-Us and 24 AGCs) were analysed. The mean attenuation values of the EGC-Us were significantly lower than those of the AGCs in both the arterial and portal phases (all p CONCLUSION: Multiphasic dynamic contrast-enhanced MDCT can help differentiate EGC-Us from AGCs..

Methods and Materials: One hundred eleven consecutive patients with pathologically proven advanced gastric cancers who were evaluated with CECT were enrolled. CT images were obtained 40s (arterial phase), 70s (portal phase) and 240s (delayed phase) after injection of nonionic contrast material. Eleven patients were diagnosed having hepatic metastasis at the time of diagnosis. Two radiologists in consensus determined the “peak enhancement phase” in which the lesion showed the highest attenuation value among the three phases for each case. The readers traced the entire tumor as the region of interest (ROI) of the gastric lesion, and measured the CT attenuation value for each phase. We compared the peak enhancement phase of positive hepatic metastasis group (n=11) and negative hepatic metastasis group (n=100) using Chi-square tests, and compared the CT attenuation values of the two groups in each phase using analysis of variance (ANOVA).
Results: The peak enhancement was significantly different between the two groups (p=0.0007); most of the positive hepatic metastasis cases had peak enhancement in the arterial phase. The CT attenuation values of positive hepatic metastasis cases were significantly lower than those of negative hepatic metastasis cases in the delayed phase.
Conclusion: Hepatic metastasis of gastric cancer may be predictable according to enhancement pattern of primary lesion on multiphasic CECT..
