Abstract:
Radioembolisation is an established transarterial therapy for hepatocellular carcinoma and liver metastasis. Success of radioembolisation depends on meticulous angiography and accurate dosimetry. Intra-procedure catheter-directed CT-angiography is commonly performed to improve the efficacy and safety of radioembolisation. This review article will (1) introduce the differences between cone beam CT and hybrid angiography-CT, and (2) describe the benefits of catheter-directed CT-angiography in radioembolisation from both an interventional radiology and nuclear medicine perspective.
