Percutaneous Portal Vein Embolization Using a Simplified Sheathless 18-Gauge Trocar Needle Approach: Review of Efficacy and Safety.

Purpose: Portal vein (PV) embolization (PVE) is traditionally performed via a PV sheath with selective embolization of PV branches. Here, the efficacy and safety of PVE with the use of only an 18-gauge needle is reported.

Materials And Methods: Consecutive patients who underwent PVE from 2009 through 2017 were retrospectively reviewed.

CT brain artefact due to air bubbles in the oil cooling system: characteristic band-like configuration on sagittal reformatted image.

Purpose: To retrospectively review the imaging characteristics of CT artefacts due to air bubbles within the oil cooling system of the X-ray tube housing.

Materials And Methods: Air bubbles were introduced into the oil cooling system of the X-ray tube housing during tube replacement in one of the CT scanners in the authors' institution. All 126 CT brain studies performed in this period were retrospectively reviewed.
