Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates are patients diagnosed with gastric cancer who meet specific MRI eligibility criteria.

Probably not a fit

Patients with serious comorbidities or those unable to tolerate MRI examinations may not benefit from this study.

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This study evaluates the effectiveness of three different diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) sequences—conventional DWI, TSE-DWI, and ZOOMit-DWI—in accurately staging gastric cancer. It involves a prospective enrollment of 72 patients who will undergo preoperative MRI scans using a 3.0 T scanner. The study aims to assess image quality and T staging accuracy by comparing MRI results with postoperative pathological findings. Quantitative metrics such as ADC, SNR, and CNR will be analyzed to determine the best imaging technique for this purpose.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to improved accuracy in staging gastric cancer, facilitating better treatment planning.

How similar studies have gone: While there is ongoing research in imaging techniques for gastric cancer, this specific comparison of DWI sequences is relatively novel.

Who can join: the full rules

Show full inclusion / exclusion criteria
Inclusion Criteria:

1. The patient was diagnosed with gastric cancer by pathological biopsy
2. No biopsy was taken within 1 week before MR Examination to rule out the effect of bleeding on the image
3. No contraindications for MRI examination; And exclude serious heart, liver, kidney, cerebrovascular diseases.

Exclusion Criteria:

1. The image quality cannot meet the diagnostic criteria;
2. Patients could not tolerate MRI examination, resulting in incomplete MR-related sequence image data.
