Abstract

PURPOSE: To evaluate the image quality of ultra-high-resolution CT (U-HRCT) in the comparison among four different reconstruction methods, focusing on the gastric wall structure, and to compare the conspicuity of a three-layered structure of the gastric wall between conventional HRCT (C-HRCT) and U-HRCT.
