Efficacy Evaluation of 64‐Slice Spiral Computed Tomography Images in Laparoscopic‐Assisted Distal Gastrectomy for Gastric Cancer under the Reconstruction Algorithm

Abstract

This study was aimed to analyze the application value of the filtered back-projection (FBP) reconstruction algorithm of computed tomography (CT) images in laparoscopic-assisted distal gastrectomy. In this study, 56 patients with gastric cancer were selected as research subjects and randomly divided into the control group (CT-guided laparoscopic radical gastrectomy) and the observation group (CT-guided laparoscopic radical gastrectomy with the FBP reconstruction algorithm), with 28 patients in each group. Fourier transform and iterative reconstruction were introduced for comparison, and finally, the postoperative curative effect and adverse events were compared between the two groups. The results showed that the CT image quality score processed by the FBP reconstruction algorithm (4.31 ± 0.31) was significantly higher than that of the iterative reconstruction method (3.5 ± 0.29) and the Fourier transform method (3.97 ± 0.38) ( P < 0.05 ). The incidences of postoperative wound infection and gastric motility disorder (5.88% and 8.16%, respectively) in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group (8.21% and 10.82%, respectively) ( P < 0.05 ). The levels of serum interleukin-6 (IL-6) (280.35 ± 15.08 ng/L) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) (144.32 ± 10.32 ng/L) in the observation group after the treatment were significantly lower than those in the control group, which were 399.71 ± 14.19 ng/L and 165.33 ± 10.08 ng/L, respectively ( P < 0.05 ). In conclusion, the FBP reconstruction algorithm was better than other algorithms in the processing of gastric cancer CT images. The FBP reconstruction algorithm showed a good reconstruction effect on CT images of gastric cancer; CT images based on this algorithm helped to formulate targeted surgical treatment plans for gastric cancer, showing a high clinical application value.
