Abstract Summary
Researchers developed a method to calculate synthetic extracellular volume (ECV) from standard CT scans without blood tests, validated in gastric cancer patients. The synthetic ECV strongly correlated with conventional measurements (r>0.98) and effectively predicted tumor pathological grades, offering a non-invasive alternative for cancer assessment that could streamline patient evaluation.
Why Brain? ðŸ§
Synthetic extracellular volume fraction from dual-energy CT accurately predicts gastric cancer grade without blood tests, offering a non-invasive alternative to conventional methods for treatment planning.
