Transarterial chemoembolization with drug-eluting beads in hepatocellular carcinoma: usefulness of contrast saturation features on cone-beam computed tomography imaging for predicting short-term tumor response.
To evaluate the predictability of the short-term tumor response and the clinical usefulness of cone-beam computed tomography (CT) performed immediately after drug-eluting bead (DEB) transarterial chemoembolization in patients with unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). ⋯ Marginal contrast saturation showed a high positive predictive value for short-term tumor response. This technique may improve the success rates of DEB transarterial chemoembolization procedures and may reduce technical difficulties and shorten procedural time.
