Core Tip
Core Tip: Gastric stromal tumors (GSTs) are common gastrointestinal tumors and have a certain possibility of malignant change. Therefore, surgical intervention is important. However, the signs of early patients are not obvious, and difficult to distinguish from benign gastric tumors. Imaging examinations have always been the main methods for diagnosing GSTs. The degree of risk to patients can be evaluated by performing a computed tomography (CT) examination. In this study, a CT examination was performed to analyze the difference in CT performance between GSTs and gastric polyps, to provide the corresponding basis for early diagnosis of GSTs and reasonable selection of treatment methods.
