چکیده

The traditional approach to the imaging evaluation of patients after gastric fundo-plication is an upper gastrointestinal series obtained by fluoroscopy. In this article, we describe a new technique using multislice computed tomography that we think can be useful to evaluate patients with suspected complications or late failure after gastric fundoplication. Tomografía computarizada multicorte para el estudio de complicaciones de la funduplicatura gástrica Resumen La técnica de imagen tradicionalmente empleada para valorar a los pacientes con cirugía de funduplicatura y sospecha de complicación es el tránsito esofagogastroduodenal con fluoroscopia. En este artículo describimos una nueva técnica mediante tomografía com-putarizada multicorte, que puede ser una herramienta útil para estudiar las funduplicaturas con sospecha de complicación o fallo tardío.

The Comparison Between the Complications after Two Surgical Techniques of Esophageal Cancer

Introduction: Esophageal cancer is a common gastro intestinal malignancy. One of the most common techniques of surgery in esophageal cancer is transhiatal esophagectomy with esophagogastric anastomosis in the neck. This technique is accompanied by complications like chronic gastero-esophegeal reflux and late stenosis. This study was designed to compare the risk of complications after two surgic...

Four-dimensional measurement of the displacement of metal clips or postoperative surgical staples during 320-multislice computed tomography scanning of gastric cancer

PURPOSE To investigate the respiratory motion of metal clips or surgical staples placed in the gastric wall for planning of radiation therapy in gastric cancer patients. METHODS This study examined 15 metal markers in the gastric walls of 12 patients with gastric cancer treated with external-beam photon RT. Motion assessment was analyzed in 41 respiratory phases covering 20 s acquired with co...

STOMACH SPECT imaging of the stomach: comparison with barostat, and effects of sex, age, body mass index, and fundoplication

Background: Impaired gastric accommodation may lead to dyspeptic symptoms. A non-invasive method using single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) has been developed to measure gastric volumes. Aims and methods: Our aims were: to assess the accuracy of SPECT with three dimensional image analysis to measure balloon volumes in vitro; to compare gastric barostat balloon volumes measured pos...

A study on differentiation of extra-cardiac activity by Slit Slat collimation in Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography

Introduction: Myocardial perfusion SPECTby 99mTc-Sestamibi and 99mTc-Tetrofosmin radiopharmaceuticals usually presents a false significant increase in the radiotracer uptake in the inferior myocardium due to the uptake in organs such as liver, bowel, stomach and biliary system. The present study evaluated a suitable Slit angle for differentiating extra-car...
