RPS 609-2 - Does the use of angio-CT vs cone-beam CT influence the radiation exposure during transarterial chemoembolisation for liver cancer?
Marie Nowak; Lausanne / Switzerland
Purpose or Learning Objective: The use of cone-beam CT (CBCT) has improved the accuracy of image-guided procedures, in particular intra-arterial therapies such as transarterial chemoembolisation (TACE). More recently, a CT-scanner coupled with a C-arm system has been used in this setting to perform angio-CTs. Although these technological evolutions allow for a better image quality and tumour targeting, they also impact patient radiation exposure. The aim of our study was to compare CBCT and CT modalities on patient exposure during TACE for liver cancer.
