Purpose We aimed to reveal specific findings of gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) in the small intestine on contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) by comparing GISTs with non-GISTs. Methods We enrolled 28 patients with 39 GISTs and 20 patients with 22 non-GISTs who underwent enterectomy wi...
