Differential Diagnostic Value and Imaging Characterization of the Nature of Benign and Malignant Tumors in the Stomach by Spiral CT Thin-layer Scanning
Objective:To investigate the differential diagnostic value of spiral electron computed tomography(CT)thin-layer scanning on the nature of benign and malignant tumors in the stomach,and to provide scientific reference for the diagnosis and treatment of gastric cancer.Methods:The clinical data of 106 patients with gastric tumors admitted to the hospital from January 2021 to January 2022 were retrospectively analyzed,and all the patients were examined by X-ray barium meal and CT thin-layer scanning.According to the results of patients'gastroscopic biopsy or surgical pathological examination,65 patients with benign tu-mors were divided into benign group,and 41 patients with malignant tumors were divided into malignant group.The imaging fea-tures of benign and malignant tumors in the stomach were compared,mainly including the features of mass diameter,lesion margin status,malignant niche shadow,mucosal invasion,and muscular layer invasion.The efficacy of X-ray barium meal,CT,and X-ray barium meal + CT in diagnosing benign and malignant tumors of the stomach was analyzed using gastroscopic biopsy or surgical pathological examination as the gold standard.Results:The detection rate of imaging features such as mass diameter≥5 cm,poor-ly defined lesion margins,malignant niches,mucosal invasion,and muscular layer invasion was higher in the malignant group than in the benign group,and the difference was statistically significant(x2=13.974,15.851,19.755,15.306,7.949,P<0.05).The com-pliance rate,sensitivity,specificity,positive predictive value,and negative predictive value of X-ray barium meal + CT thin-layer scan for the diagnosis of benign and malignant tumors in the stomach were higher than those of X-ray barium meal and CT thin-layer scan as a single diagnostic modality,and the difference was statistically significant(x2=20.673,13.529,8.159,10.332,11.248,P<0.05).The AUC for the diagnosis of benign and malignant tumors in the stomach was 0.685 for barium X-ray meal,0.762 for CT thin-layer scan,and 0.898 for barium X-ray meal + CT thin-layer scan.Conclusion:CT thin-layer scanning can provide a scientific reference for the diagnosis of benign and malignant gastric tumors and the evaluation of their conditions,with simple operation and good sensitivity.
