Diagnostic Performance of 64-Channel Multidetector CT in the Evaluation of Gastric Cancer: Differentiation of Mucosal Cancer (T1a) from Submucosal Involvement (T1b and T2)

Abstract

On multidetector CT images, T1a cancer shows different imaging features than does T1b cancer regarding enhancing characteristics and detectability. Multidetector CT provides relatively valuable results of T and N staging, including differentiation between T1a, T1b, and T2 gastric cancers.
