title: [Diagnosis of remote metastases of rectal cancer with the aid of minimally invasive diagnostic procedures under computerized tomography control].
abstract: At 124 patients who have rectum cancer made computer tomography of a abdominal cavity, retroperitoneal space and small pelvis with the purpose of definition of prevalence of a tumour. Was used computer tomograph "Somatom CRX", "Siemens". Remote metastasis are revealed at 26 patients, their most often localization--liver (45.8%). Are described CT-attributes of organs remote metastasis: hypodense spherical formation from 1.0 up to 4.0 CM in a diameter. Pathology changed lymph nodes were characterized by increase of a diameter more 1.5 CM, illegibility of contours, merge in a conglomerate. This changes have not specific character and also can be in case of hyperplasia of lymph nodes. At 14 patients is made puncture biopsy of focal formations under the CT-control. Diagnostic efficiency CT with puncture biopsy have made: accuracy--0.92, sensitivity--0.77, specificity--0.96. Is judged high efficiency of a method.
