ObjectiveTo explore the value of multi-slice CT angiography (MSCTA) in peripancreatic vascular invasion of pancreatic carcinoma. MethodsThirty-eight patients with pancreatic carcinoma were detected by MSCTA technology before operation. The peripancreatic vascular invasion of pancreatic carcinoma was evaluated by multi-planar reconstruction (MPR) and maximum intensity projection (MIP) combined with axial image, and compared with the surgical results. ResultsThe MSCTA results showed that there were 12 patients (31.6%) with vascular invasion in 38 patients with pancreatic carcinoma, and the surgical results showed that there were 16 patients (42.1%) with vascular invasion. There was a b fit goodness of two results (kappa=0.665, P=0.000). The sensibility and specificity of MSCTA was 68.8% (11/16) and 95.5% (21/22), respectively. ConclusionsMSCTA technology has a high correct rate in evaluation of peripancreatic vessel encroached by pancreatic carcinoma, the MSCTA result has a b consistency to the surgical result. It has a value of clinical application in evaluation of peripancreatic vessel encroached by pancreatic carcinoma.
