Abstract

Pancreatic cancer is malignant with a poor prognosis,and its incidence is rising worldwide in recent years.Multiple slices spiral computed tomography and computed angiography are the first choice for the diagnosis of pancreatic cancer,while misdiagnosis of pancreatic cancer still exists.From August 2009 to October 2011,80 patients with pancreatic or periampullary cancer were diagnosed using the medical image three dimensional visualization system (MI-3DVS).The threedimensional models of the liver,pancreas,vascular system and tumors were reconstructed successfully based on the 64-slice spiral computed tomography data.According to the analysis of the three dimensional models,4 patients underwent standard pancreaticoduodenectomy,1 received palliative surgery.MI3DVS plays an important role in the diagnosis and assessement of resectability of pancreatic and periampullary cancer. Key words: Pancreatic neoplasms ; Three-dimensional imaging; Resectability
