Diagnostic value of multi-slice spiral CT (MSCT) combined with digestive tract angiography in gastric fundus cardia carcinoma.

PURPOSE To evaluate the diagnostic value of multi-slice spiral CT (MSCT) combined with digestive tract angiography in patients with gastric fundus cardia carcinoma. METHODS A total of 185 patients with suspected gastric fundus cardia carcinoma admitted in our hospital were collected. Among them, 93 patients were examined with MSCT combined with digestive tract angiography and were enrolled in the research group. Another 92 patients examined by MSCT alone comprised the control group. The diagnostic value of MSCT combined with digestive tract angiography in patients with gastric fundus cardia carcinoma was investigated. 185 patients were diagnosed by pathological examination and 166 had gastric fundus cardia carcinoma, with 84 patients in the research group, and 84 patients in the control group. Fifty nine patients with gastric fundus cardia carcinoma in the control group were diagnosed by MSCT. RESULTS There were significant differences compared with pathological diagnosis (p 0.05). Sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of the research group were significantly higher than those of the control group (p<0.05). The detectable rate in imaging results of the research group was higher than that of the control group (p<0.05). CONCLUSION MSCT combined with digestive tract angiography is more accurate than single MSCT in the diagnosis of gastric fundus cardia carcinoma, which can effectively reduce the misdiagnosis and missed diagnosis and is worthy of clinical promotion.
