Low-dose spectral insufflation computed tomography protocol preoperatively optimized for T stage esophageal cancer - preliminary research experience.

CONCLUSION: EICT combined with GSI assist allows differential diagnosis between the T1/2 and T3 stages. The ability to differentially diagnose the T3 and T4 stages of medullary ESCC can be improved by quantitatively and qualitatively analyzing the adipose tissue in front of the vertebral body.
