The propose of this exhibit is: 1.- To review the proper imaging technique needed to accomplish a correct MDCT gastric study 2.- To discuss the more relevant imaging findings of different kinds of gastric cancer, highlighting those key to differential diagnosis 3.- To explain the pattern of growth and spread of gastric cancers, which is essential to understand the pathology and the imaging findings.

- Imaging technique for MDCT gastric studies Patient preparation Contribution of reformatted images - MDCT imaging findings of gastric cancer including: Premalignant lesions Early and advanced gastric carcinoma Early and advanced GIST Gastric lymphoma Gastric neuroendocrine Tumors Rare Tumors Mimics and pitfalls - Patterns of growth and spread of the different tumors - Summary and conclusions
