Core Tip

Core Tip: To investigate the application value of multiparameter energy spectrum computed tomography (CT) imaging in the preoperative assessment of vascular and nerve infiltration in patients with gastric cancer (GC). The imaging data of GC patients were retrospectively analyzed to evaluate the accuracy and sensitivity of CT for identifying and quantifying vascular and nerve infiltration and for comparison with postoperative pathological results. The purpose of this study was to verify the clinical feasibility and potential advantages of multiparameter energy spectrum CT imaging in guiding preoperative diagnosis and treatment decision-making and to provide a new imaging basis for improving the diagnostic accuracy and prognosis of GC patients.
