Interventional oncology on a C-arm system with XperCT: targeting liver cancer
نویسندگان
چکیده
Imaging plays a key role in interventional oncologic procedures such as transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) and percutaneous portal vein embolization (PVE). TACE delivers highly concentrated doses of chemotherapy to the tumor bed, while sparing the surrounding hepatic parenchyma [1, 2]. TACE has gained wide acceptance over the past twenty years and is now considered the main therapy for unresectable primary and metastatic liver cancer.

متن کاملChanging Therapeutic Paradigms: Predicting mCRC Lesion Response to Selective Internal Radionuclide Therapy (SIRT) based on Critical Absorbed Dose Thresholds: A Case Study
A 65 year old male with metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) in the liver was referred for selective internal radionuclide therapy (SIRT) following a history of extensive systemic chemotherapy. 90Y PET imaging was performed immediately after treatment and used to confirm lesion targeting and measure individual lesion absorbed doses. Lesion dosimetry was highly predictive of eventual response in ...
متن کاملTitle: Breathing motion compensated reconstruction for C-arm cone beam CT imaging: initial experience based on animal data
C-arm based tomographic 3D imaging is applied in an increasing number of minimal invasive procedures. Due to the limited acquisition speed for a complete projection data set required for tomographic reconstruction, breathing motion is a potential source of artifacts. This is the case for patients who cannot comply breathing commands (e.g. due to anesthesia). Intra-scan motion estimation and com...
متن کاملComparison of organ doses and image quality between CT and flat panel XperCT scans in wrist and inner ear examinations.
The aim of this study was to evaluate and compare organ doses delivered to patients in wrist and petrous bone examinations using a multislice spiral computed tomography (CT) and a C-arm cone-beam CT equipped with a flat-panel detector (XperCT). For this purpose, doses to the target organ, i.e. wrist or petrous bone, together with those to the most radiosensitive nearby organs, i.e. thyroid and ...
