AIM: To investigate the potential of iodine concentration (IC) determined using virtual monochromatic spectral computed tomography (CT) to predict the response of gastric carcinomas to preoperative neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NC).MATERIALS AND METHODS: A total of 20 patients were enrolled who underwent two spectral CT examinations (1 week before and two cycles after NC). The percentage change in tumour thickness (%Delta CWT) and in IC on the arterial phase (%Delta IC-a) and venous phase (%Delta IC-v) after NC were calculated and compared for different histopathological regression grades and response groups. The diagnostic efficacies to discriminate good response (GR) and poor response (PR) of the above three parameters were evaluated using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves.RESULTS: The decrease rate of % DIC-a for the GR group was higher than that for the PR group (-0.59 [-0.76, -0.20] versus -0.11 [-0.75, 0.92], p = 0.012). There was no significant difference in the %Delta IC-v and %Delta CWT values between the GR and PR groups (p = 0.076 and p = 0.779, respectively). The areas under the ROC curve (AUC) values were 0.857, 0.762, and 0.542 for % DIC-a, %Delta IC-v, and %Delta CWT, respectively, in the response prediction. The cut-off value for identifying PR was a decrease rate of
