objective:to explore the clinical value of mscta in the visualization of gastric arteries. Methods:dual－phase cta using a siemens sensation 16 scanner was performed in 80 cases without abdominal surgery and stomach disease. Cta of gastric arteries were made using vr,mip and tsmip techniques. The frequency and degree of visualization of the feeding arteries of stomach were recorded and evaluated by two radiologists together. Results:the left gastric artery and right gastroepiploic artery were all seen in each technique. In vr,mip,tsmip,visualization rates of right gastric artery were 50.00%,70.00%,90.00%,respectively;left gastroepiploic artery,30.00%,60.00%,77.50%;posterior gastric artery,6.25%,16.25%,25.00%;short gastric artery 10.00%,25.00%,40.00%. There were significant difference in visualization rates of right gastric artery,left gastroepiploic artery,posterior gastric artery,short gastric artery between vr and tsmip,as well as between vr and mip. There were significant difference in visualization rates of right gastric artery,short gastric artery between mip and tsmip. There were significant difference in the degree of visualization of the feeding arteries of stomach among tsmip,mip and vr. Conclusion:the gastric arteries are displayed better on tsmip than on vr and mip. The gastric arteries have three－dimensional sense of space on vr .the anatomic features and the variations of gastric arteries can be accurately displayed by vr and tsmip.
