PTEG is a minimally invasive method to access the stomach or small intestine via an esophagostomy. It is used as an alternative to nasogastric tubing for gastric decompression or long-term enteral nutrition when gastrostomy is not suitable, such as in patients with total gastrectomy or advanced gastric cancer.

Purpose: The major drawbacks of brain computed tomography (CT) perfusion are limited coverage in the z-axis, radiation exposure and the use of contrast medium, all of which increase when CT angiography (CTA) is performed with double acquisitions. The purpose of this study was to investigate the feasibility of the 'toggling-table' technique using a 40-mm detector.
Materials And Methods: The clinical usefulness of CT perfusion and 4D-CTA (time-resolved 3D-CTA), as well as the time taken and radiation exposure, were assessed in 14 non-ischemic patients clinically indicated for CT perfusion and CTA.
