Objective: To investigate the diagnostic efficacy of sequentially acquired gadobenete dimeglumine-enhanced 3-dimensional dynamic magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and Resovist-enhanced MRI for detecting hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) by comparing with combined computed tomography (CT) hepatic arteriography (CTHA) and CT arterioportography (CTAP) using 16-slice multidetector CT.
Materials: Twenty-nine patients with 50 HCCs underwent sequentially acquired double-contrast MRI--gadobenate dimeglumine-enhanced dynamic MRI and Resovist-enhanced MRI--and combined CTHA and CTAP using 16-slice multidetector CT. Dynamic MRI was obtained using volumetric interpolated technique and sensitivity encoding on a 1.5-T unit. Resovist-enhanced MRI was composed of T2-weighted turbo spin-echo and T2*-weighted gradient echo sequences. Sensitivity, positive predictive value, and diagnostic accuracy for double-contrast MRI, gadolinium-enhanced MRI, and combined CTHA and CTAP were calculated by 2 observers using an alternative-free response receiver operating characteristic analysis.
Results: For all observers, the Az values of double-contrast MRI (mean, 0.96) and combined CTHA and CTAP (mean, 0.93) were similar, which tended to be better than that of gadolinium-enhanced MRI (mean, 0.91). The sensitivity of double-contrast MRI (mean, 93%) and combined CTHA and CTAP (mean, 92%) was equivalent for all observers, which was better than that of gadolinium-enhanced MRI (mean, 85%; P < 0.05). The positive predictive value of double-contrast MRI was better than that of combined CTHA and CTAP (P < 0.05).
Conclusion: The sequentially acquired double-contrast MRI and combined CTHA and CTAP showed a similar diagnostic accuracy and sensitivity for detecting HCC.

Conventional versus Hepatic Arteriography and C-Arm CT-Guided Ablation of Liver Tumors (HepACAGA): A Comparative Analysis.
Cancers (Basel)
May 2024
Department of Radiology and Nuclear Medicine, University Medical Center Utrecht, 3584 CX Utrecht, The Netherlands.
Purpose: Hepatic Arteriography and C-Arm CT-Guided Ablation of liver tumors (HepACAGA) is a novel technique, combining hepatic-arterial contrast injection with C-arm CT-guided navigation. This study compared the outcomes of the HepACAGA technique with patients treated with conventional ultrasound (US) and/or CT-guided ablation.
Materials And Methods: In this retrospective cohort study, all consecutive patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) or colorectal liver metastases (CRLM) treated with conventional US-/CT-guided ablation between 1 January 2015, and 31 December 2020, and patients treated with HepACAGA between 1 January 2021, and 31 October 2023, were included.

Purpose: We present a technique that combines Hepatic Arteriography with C-arm CT-Guided Ablation (HepACAGA) to improve tumor visualization, navigation and margin confirmation for percutaneous ablation of liver tumors.
Materials And Methods: All consecutive patients scheduled for HepACAGA between April 20th, 2021, and November 2nd, 2021, were included in this retrospective, cohort study. HepACAGA was performed in an angiography-suite under general anesthesia.
Outcomes of novel 3D-printed fully porous titanium cup and a cemented highly cross-linked polyethylene liner in complex and revision total hip arthroplasty.

Introduction: A novel fully porous acetabular titanium shell has been designed to reduce stiffness mismatch between bone and implant and promote osseointegration in complex (cTHA) and revision total hip arthroplasty (rTHA). A highly cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) liner is cemented within the cup to reduce wear rates and increase survivorship. This study reported the outcomes of an XLPE liner cemented into a novel 3D-printed fully porous cup in cTHA and rTHA.

Purpose: The aim was to investigate the contribution of robotics assisted total hip arthroplasty (THA) through direct anterior approach (DAA) in improving radiographic precision, functional results and complications.
Methods: This retrospective study compared 100 primary conventional THA (cTHA) to 50 primary robotic THA (rTHA) through DAA. All cups were placed with the objective of having no anterior overhang while respecting the safe zones (SZ).
