AI Article Synopsis
- Cone-beam CT reduces both X-ray exposure and contrast material dosage compared to conventional angio-CT techniques.
- The study highlights a patient with a metastatic skull base bone tumor, showcasing how cone-beam CT effectively evaluated vascular supply during intraarterial chemotherapy.
- Despite its lower image quality compared to conventional angio-CT, cone-beam CT is still considered adequate for clinical applications.
Article Abstract
A cone-beam lowers the X-ray exposure level and the contrast material dose used compared to those for the conventional angiography-computed tomography (angio-CT) technique. Herein we present a patient with a metastatic skull base bone tumor in which the subtraction image of cone-beam CT with a flat panel detector was useful for evaluating the vascular supply during superselective intraarterial chemotherapy. Although the image quality of cone-beam CT is poorer than that of conventional angio-CT, the cone-beam CT system is sufficient for clinical use.
