Value of Multidetector Row CT in the Assessment of Longitudinal Extension of Cholangiocarcinoma—Correlation Between MDCT and Microscopic Findings

摘要

Background A few authors have reported the value of multidetector row CT (MDCT) for evaluating the longitudinal extent of cholangiocarcinoma. They have not focused on CT attenuation of a tumor and actual tumor extent along the bile ducts. We designed the present study to analyze attenuation.
