CT texture analysis (CTTA) can objectively evaluate the heterogeneity of tissues and their lesions beyond the ability of subjective visual interpretation by extracting the texture features of CT images, then performing analysis and quantitative and objective evaluation, reflecting the tissue micro environmental information. This article reviews the recent studies on the applications of CTTA in gastric cancers, in the aspects of identification of gastric tumors, prediction of stage, correlation with Lauren classification, prediction of occult peritoneal carcinomatosis, evaluation of efficacy and prognosis, and prediction of biomarkers. It is regarded that CTTA has a good application prospect in gastric cancers.
