Cover Story: Peritoneal metastases are a major cause of morbidity and mortality among patients with gastric cancer. In order to provide the best possible therapeutic management, accurate staging is essential. Imaging plays a key and growing role in assessing the extent and distribution of metastases. This article discusses the strengths and weaknesses of the different techniques for imaging and presents an overview of the imaging appearance of gastric cancer carcinomatosis, a challenging diagnosis. Response assessment and follow-up recommendations after complete surgical resection are also discussed, as well as future directions for imaging improvement. View this paper
