Single-injection dual-phase cone-beam CT is better than split-bolus single-phase cone-beam CT for liver catheter-based procedures

Reply to the recent article by Jonczyk et al entitled “Diagnostic Accuracy of Split-Bolus Single-Phase Contrast-Enhanced Cone-Beam CT for the Detection of Liver Tumors before Transarterial Chemoembolization”.

Sequential dual-phase cone-beam CT is able to intra-procedurally predict the one-month treatment outcome of multi-focal HCC, in course of degradable starch microsphere TACE

Objective: To evaluate the prognostic value of sequential dual-phase CBCT (DP-CBCT) imaging performed during degradable starch microsphere TACE (DSM-TACE) session in predicting the HCC’s response to treatment, evaluate with modify response evaluation criteria in solid tumours (mRECIST) at 1-month multi-detector CT (MDCT) follow-up. Materials and methods: Between January and May 2018, 24 patients (68.5 ± 8.5 year [45–85]) with HCC lesions (n = 96 [average 4/patient]) were prospectively enrolled.

Single injection dual-phase cone beam CT (DP-CBCT): vascular anatomy assessment and occult nodule detection; have we reached the focus?
