Application value of SOMATOM Force computed tomography in assisting the preoperative localization of colorectal
1Department of Radiology, Taizhou Second People's Hospital of Yangzhou University, Taizhou City, China.
Background:
The objective of this study was to assess the application value of SOMATOM Force computed tomography (CT) in assisting the preoperative localization of colorectal cancer resection surgery.
Method:
Retrospectively, the medical data of 120 inpatients with colorectal cancer were collected. The Kappa consistency test was used to evaluate diagnostic consistency in the localization and staging of colorectal cancer. The diagnostic value of preoperative SOMATOM Force CT detection was analyzed.
Results:
In 120 colorectal cancer patients, the accuracy of SOMATOM Force CT for preoperative localization, T staging, and N staging of colorectal cancer were 91.7% (kappa = 0.837), 88.3% (kappa = 0.772) and 91.7% (kappa = 0.773), respectively. Among 45 rectum cancer patients, there were 19 positive cases with circumferential resection margin involvement, and the accuracy of SOMATOM Force CT detection was 86.7% (kappa = 0.767). The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, and negative predictive value of SOMATOM Force CT detection in evaluating the circumferential resection margin involvement of rectum cancer were 78.95%, 96.15%, 93.75%, and 86.21%, respectively.
Conclusions:
There was an important application value of SOMATOM Force CT in assisting the preoperative localization and tumor staging of colorectal cancer resection surgery. There was a good diagnostic value of preoperative SOMATOM Force CT detection in evaluating the circumferential resection margin involvement of rectum cancer.
