Conclusions
As a result of future advancements in image engineering and computer technology, digital radiographic systems and MDCT systems will continue to evolve, and it can be predicted that new diagnostic methods that utilize the advantages of digitalization in the radiological diagnosis of gastric carcinoma will also be developed. MDCT gastrography has little potential at present as a diagnostic method for the primary lesions of gastric carcinoma. However, with further advances in MDCT, higher-speed examinations, improved image quality, and optimization of exposure dose, it appears certain that MDCT gastrography will gradually replace radiography, endoscopy, and ultrasound endoscopy.
