Three-Dimensional Quantitative Color-Coding Analysis of Hepatic Arterial Flow Change during Chemoembolization of Hepatocellular Carcinoma.

Purpose: To evaluate feasibility of using three-dimensional (3D) quantitative color-coding analysis (QCA) to quantify substasis endpoints after transcatheter arterial chemoembolization of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).

Materials And Methods: This single-institution prospective study included 20 patients with HCC who had undergone segmental or subsegmental transcatheter arterial chemoembolization between December 2015 and March 2017. The chemoembolization endpoint was a sluggish anterograde tumor-feeding arterial flow without residual tumor stains.

Quantitative Real-Time Fluoroscopy Analysis on Measurement of the Hepatic Arterial Flow During Transcatheter Arterial Chemoembolization of Hepatocellular Carcinoma: Comparison with Quantitative Digital Subtraction Angiography Analysis.

Purpose: To quantify the arterial flow change during transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) using digital subtraction angiography, quantitative color-coding analysis (d-QCA), and real-time subtraction fluoroscopy QCA (f-QCA).

Materials And Methods: This prospective study enrolled 20 consecutive patients with HCC who had undergone TACE via a subsegmental approach between February 2014 and April 2015. The TACE endpoint was a sluggish antegrade tumor-feeding arterial flow.
