Stomach Duodenum Virtual Gastrography

Reference work entry

Abstract

Recent advances in computed tomography (CT) technology and three-dimensional (3D) imaging software have sparked renewed interest in using CT to evaluate gastric disease. Multidetector row CT (MDCT) scanners allow thinner and faster scanning, which results in excellent imaging resolution and easy generation of reconstruction images. The rapid dissemination of MDCT technology makes faster and more accurate gastric imaging possible. In addition, greater computer processing power and cheaper data storage capacity also make image rendering faster, simpler, and more affordable.
