About this trial

Accurate staging is critical for effective gastric cancer treatment planning. Conventional DWI (C-DWI) has limitations in image quality due to magnetic field inhomogeneity, which hampers precise T staging.

This study aims to compare the image quality and T staging accuracy of C-DWI, TSE-DWI, and ZOOMit-DWI (Z-DWI) sequences in MRI examinations of gastric cancer patients.

A prospective study plan to enroll 72 gastric cancer patients undergoing preoperative MRI with C-DWI, TSE-DWI, and Z-DWI sequences using a 3.0 T scanner. Quantitative metrics (ADC, SNR, CNR) and image quality were evaluated. T staging accuracy was assessed by comparing MRI results with postoperative pathological staging using ROC analysis.

Eligibility criteria

Qualifiers

The patient was diagnosed with gastric cancer by pathological biopsy

No biopsy was taken within 1 week before MR Examination to rule out the effect of bleeding on the image

No contraindications for MRI examination; And exclude serious heart, liver, kidney, cerebrovascular diseases.

Disqualifiers

The image quality cannot meet the diagnostic criteria;

Patients could not tolerate MRI examination, resulting in incomplete MR-related sequence image data.
