Calculation of radiological peritoneal cancer index (rPCI) adapted from Sugarbaker et al (1). (a) Coronal CT showing regions 0–8. Vertical lines are drawn along the right and left midclavicular line and the horizontal lines along the costal margin and the iliac crests. (b) Coronal CT showing regions 9 to 12. The vertical and the horizontal lines are through the umbilicus divide the small bowel and mesentery into proximal and distal jejunal and ileal regions.
