Radiotherapy for esophageal cancer relies on cross-sectional imaging to identify the entire extent of tumor. Rarely, the exact limits of the tumor may be radiologically occult. Lipiodol is a contrast agent which has been used successfully to mark cancers of the bladder and lung for radiotherapy and surgical resection. We report a patient with an adenocarcinoma of the gastroesophageal junction w...

Pelvic congestion syndrome (PCS) is a chronic condition that mainly affects female. We report case of long-standing lower abdominal pain caused by pelvic syndrome, which often underdiagnosed, and discuss the imaging findings. The patient was treated endovascularly with an IUD lipiodol glue

We report the first European case of cerebral iodized lipid embolism post transcatheter arterial embolization for hepatocellular carcinoma. Lipiodol emboli and corresponding multifocal brain ischemia were documented with computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance (MR) in the acutely symptomatic patient. Transcranial Doppler sonography with contrast indicated a right-to-left shunt, while on...

was drawn to the article by Forestier and Leroux (1935) describing the new pernasal method of administration of lipiodol for visualizing the bronchial tree, we have adopted this method in a modified form in a large number of cases with very satisfactory results. We were successful in all the sixty cases of our series except in one, where the patient, in spite of our best efforts, swallowed the ...

A 69-year-old man with an history of liver cirrhosis complicated by hepatocellular carcinoma treated by chemoembolization, moderate mitral insufficiency and chronic atrial fibrillation presented with a rounded calcified opacity in right upper abdomen at chest radiography. Abdominal computed tomography scan showed an omogeneous and complete uptake of lipiodol within the hepatocellular carcinoma,...

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the 5th most common tumour worldwide and has a dark prognosis. For nonoperable cases, metabolic radiotherapy with Lipiodol labelled with β-emitters is a promising therapeutic option. The Comprehensive Cancer Centre Eugène Marquis and the National Graduate School of Chemistry of Rennes (ENSCR) have jointly developed a stable and efficient labelling of Lipiodol w...

Transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) using doxorubicin-eluting beads (DEBs) have been introduced as a novel device which ensures more sustained and tumor-selective drug delivery and permanent embolization compared to conventional TACE with lipiodol. Studies highlighting the use of TACE with DEBs for the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) have shown similar or better results compared ...

BACKGROUND Aim of this study was to comparatively evaluate the accuracy of respiration-correlated (4D) and uncorrelated (3D) cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) in localizing lipiodolized hepatocellular carcinomas during stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT). METHODS 4D-CBCT scans of eighteen HCCs were acquired during free-breathing SBRT following trans-arterial chemo-embolization (TACE) wit...

on chronic pulmonary suppurations and have contributed greatly to a clearer understanding of the conditions, still all the factors responsible for the causation of bronchiectasis are not yet well understood. Our knowledge on the subject has, however, become much more precise since the introduction of lipiodol bronchography by Sicard and Forestier (1922), the use of the bronchoscope in examining...
