Investigative Radiology: Spatial prediction of TACE postoperative drug dose based on cone beam CT scan

Transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) is a minimally invasive procedure that is very common in the clinic to treat liver malignancies

Assessing the completeness and adequacy of DEB-TACE often relies on the transient pattern of soluble contrast media retained during postoperative imaging, rather than directly seeing the location of

Recently, a study published in the journal Innovative Radiology evaluated the iodine content of drug delivery on cone-beam CT as a drug delivery after embolization of opaque DEBs using drug-eluting, and evaluated extravascular drug penetration in HCC models, providing a reference for

This study performed transarterial chemoembolization

Consistent segmentation

In the animal HCC model of this study, the use of DEB emissivity on cone beam CT as a drug alternative allows for a spatial assessment
