Evaluation of Imaging Value of CT Combined with Esophagography in the Diagnosis of Esophageal Carcinoma

Objective: To analyze the value of CT combined with esophagography in clinical diagnosis of esophageal cancer. Methods: 120 patients with esophageal cancer in our hospital (March 2018 to July 2022) were examined by CT and esophagography respectively. Results: For patients with early esophageal cancer, the detection rate of angiography was significantly higher, and for patients with advanced stage, the detection rate of angiography was significantly lower than that of CT; For early patients, the detection rate of CT combined with esophagography did not improve significantly, but the detection rate of advanced patients increased significantly; After chemotherapy, patients will have edema and fibrosis to a certain extent. At this time, there will be false positive phenomenon in the single contrast examination, and the efficacy evaluation of the combined examination is higher; Compared with CT, the detection rate of anastomotic leakage and stenosis by angiography was lower and higher; The detection rate of postoperative recurrence was significantly higher with the combination of the two. Conclusion: The combined CT and esophagography can play a complementary role in the clinical diagnosis and treatment of esophageal cancer.
