title: [Capacities of diagnostic volumetric multislice spiral computed tomography in the diagnosis of gastric cancer].
abstract: In the period 2009 to 2010, diagnostic multislice spiral computed tomography (MSCT) was carried out in 49 patients with gastric cancer. The efficiency of dynamic MSCT in detecting a tumor and determining its locoregional extent was evaluated. The results of dynamic MSCT were compared with those of postoperative histological examination. The possibility of detecting gastric cancer by dynamic MSCT was ascertained to depend on the depth of tumor invasion and to average 29, 71, 72, and 77% for T1, T2, T3, and T4, respectively. Dynamic MSCT showed a correlation between the frequency of metastatic lesion and the sizes of lymph nodes (r = 0.54; p = 0.0001) and their number (r = 0.82; p < 0.0001).
