Objective  To evaluate the clinical value of multi-detector row helical CT (MDCT) in Diagnosing the TN staging and typing of adenocarcinoma of esophagogastric junction.
Methods  From January 2008 to June 2011,149 consecutive cases with AEG confirmed surgery were examined by using MDCT scanner before surgery in West China Hospital,pathologic and operative finding diagnosis were correlated with that results of MDCT .
Results  The accuracies of MDCT for the T1, T2, T3, and T4 staging was 97.3%,91.3%,84.5%, and 89.3%,respectively, and for the typing of Ⅰ,Ⅱ, andⅢwas 84.6%, 63.8%, and 79.2%,respectively. The accuracies of MDCT to judge the metastasis of lymph node was 88.6%(132/149). The feature of metastasis of lymph node with circular and fusion,significantly and obviously enhanced,ring and heterogeneous enhanced, which the positive rate of pathological metastasis was higher (P=0.000).
Conclusions  MDCT is an excellent diagnostic tool for the diagnosis of the TN staging and typing of AEG, which is useful for the selection of the surgical procedure and decision operation path.
