Pre-operative evaluation of peritoneal deposits using multidetector computed tomography in ovarian cancer.

Abstract

Despite the improved scanning technology, image reconstruction and viewing ability of MDCT, its overall accuracy for the detection of peritoneal deposits is not significantly improved when compared with conventional CT; however, MDCT is useful in the assessment of disease at specific locations in the abdomen and pelvis.
