According to the presence of cancer cell nests in blood vessels and lymphatic vessels, the subjects were divided into the positive group and negative group of lymphovascular tumor thrombus. Two radiologists independently measured the normalized iodine concentration (NIC) values, effective atomic number (Zeff) and CT values of virtual monochromatic images (VMIs) at 40\u201390 keV of the primary tumors in the arterial phase (AP) and venous phase (VP). Used SPSS 17.0 to calculate the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve to evaluate diagnostic value.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>The patients were divided into lymphovascular tumor thrombus positive group(n = 16) and negative group(n = 34). The values of NIC-AP and NIC-VP in the positive group were 0.17 \u00b1 0.09, 0.51 \u00b1 0.13, respectively. And those in the negative group were 0.15 \u00b1 0.06, 0.43 \u00b1 0.12, respectively. There was significant difference in NIC-VP value between the two groups (p = 0.039), but there was no significant difference in NIC-AP value (p = 0.423). The optimal threshold value of NIC-VP value for diagnosis of lymphovascular tumor thrombus was 0.364.
