Objective  To review study of various imaging examination methods for evaluating of gastric cancer. Method  The recent and relevant literatures about the imaging examination methods for evaluating of gastric cancer were scrutinized and analyzed retrospectively. Results  The imaging examination methods such as the barium meal, endoscopic ultrasonography, computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging, positron emission tomography-CT, were used to evaluate the gastric cancer, but with certain limitations. The new methods such as the dual-energy CT, radiomics, and so on, had become the focus of the clinical research. The imaging methods are of great significances in the evaluation of the gastric cancer before the surgery, peritoneal metastasis, chemoradiotherapy and neoadjuvant chemotherapy later. Conclusions  Various imaging examination methods, used in evaluating of gastric cancer, play some important roles in clinical application. New methods such as dual-energy CT, radiomics, and so on, are with bright potentiality for clinical application.
