CT examination is mainly used to judge the tissue thickness of a certain part of the human body by using the absorption degree of radiation by different tissues of the human body, and to form imaging to judge human diseases. If the patient's stomach disease is a gastric polyp, gastric adenoma, gastric cancer and other space-occupying lesions, CT examination can usually be detected.
However, if the patient's stomach disease is gastritis, gastric ulcer and other gastric inflammatory lesions, because there is no obvious thickening of gastric tissue in the stomach, this type of stomach disease can generally not be detected by CT examination.
