Abstract
Background: Patients having suspected or a confirmed diagnosis of peritoneal malignancy benefit greatly from imaging studies. Tumor staging is impacted by the existence of peritoneal metastases (PM), which in turn affects treatment options and prognosis. Extended life and even cure have been achieved in some cases with PM by combining cytoreductive surgery (CRS) with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC). Objectives: To assess the diagnostic utility and efficacy of high resolution computer tomography (CT scan) in the early diagnosis of peritoneal tumor seeding. Patients and methods: This prospective research was performed in Radio-Diagnosis Department, Faculty of Medicine, Al-Azhar Assuit University. It conducted on 20 subjects; Patients suspected clinically with peritoneal metastasis newly diagnosed or recurrent disease. From Al-Azhar Assuit Uuniversity hospital. Result: There was high statistically substantial elevate prevalence of nodularity and thickening in diseased group in contrast to control group (p
