CT imaging of peritoneal carcinomatosis with surgical correlation: a pictorial review

Abstract Cytoreductive surgery in combination with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy has revolutionized the survival and the quality of life in selected patients with peritoneal carcinomatosis. Preoperative CT is important for the selection of patients that may benefit from cytoreductive sur...
