Bildgebende Diagnostik der Peritonealkarzinose

Two hundred and eighty-seven radiological and sonographic examinations in 142 patients with confirmed peritoneal carcinosis were evaluated retrospectively. The examinations included abdominal films (19), infusion urograms (20), contrast examinations of the intestine (26), small bowel enemas (2), double-contrast examinations of the colon (40), demonstrations with water-soluble contrast (6), sonographies (80) and CTs (96). CT and colonic double-contrast studies were complementary and valuable methods for diagnosing peritoneal carcinosis and should both be used.
