The value of preoperative diagnosis of colorectal adenocarcinoma pathological T staging based on dual-layer spectral-detector computed tomography extracellular volume fraction: a preliminary study

ConclusionECV based on DLCT measurement can be used for preoperative noninvasive diagnosis of CRAC pT staging with excellent diagnostic efficacy. It can provide a new imaging marker for the preoperative evaluation of CRAC and help clinicians formulate individualized treatment earlier. However, it needs to be confirmed with a larger sample size.
