We report the usefulness of dual-phase cone-beam computed tomography during angiography (CBCTA) and automated tumour-feeder detection software (AFD) in transarterial embolization (TAE) for three consecutive cases of obscure arterial bleeding in the abdomen. Two patients presented with lower gastrointestinal bleeding and one showed bleeding into the pancreatic pseudocyst. Superior mesenteric or common hepatic angiography did not demonstrate extravasation, but dual-phase CBCTA and AFD could identify extravasation and an access route to the bleeding point. TAE with gelatin sponge particles and a microcoil was successfully performed under AFD guidance in all patients without any complication, and haemostasis could be achieved.

Purpose: Personalized treatment schemes are being systematically applied to ensure best treatment outcome in oncologic patients. This is true also for personalized dosimetry in transarterial radioembolization (TARE) in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients. Precise and detailed volumetric and functional data derived from radiological and nuclear imaging methods are essential for personalized dosimetry.

Materials And Methods: Bilateral sinus floor elevations were performed in 12 rabbits. The sinus mucosa was intentionally perforated using a blade on both sides and randomly filled with either a cortico-cancellous bone embedded in a 20% thermosensitive gel (GTO sticky bone test) or a cortical cancellous bone and 10% collagen (mp3 control).

The aim of this study was to examine the value of tumor enhancement parameters on dual-phase cone-beam CT (CBCT) in predicting initial response, local progression-free survival (L-PFS) and overall survival (OS) following hepatic artery embolization (HAE). Between Feb 2016 and Feb 2023, 13 patients with 29 hepatic tumors treated with HAE were analyzed. Pre- and post-embolization, subtracted CBCTs were performed, and tumor enhancement parameters were measured, resulting in three parameters: pre-embolization Adjusted Tumor Enhancement (pre-ATE), post-embolization ATE and the difference between pre- and post-ATE (∆ATE).

Background: Due to the invisibility of the portal vein (PV), how to puncture the PV accurately and safely in transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) creation remains a challenge of the procedure.
Objectives: We aimed to provide the first evaluation of the safety, feasibility, and efficiency of cone beam computed tomography (CBCT)-based three-dimensional (3D) dual-phase vascular image fusion for interventional real-time guided PV puncture during TIPS procedures.
Materials And Methods: From January 2021 to May 2021, 13 patients undergoing TIPS were prospectively enrolled in this study.

Pre-op spinal arterial mapping is crucial for complex aortic repair. This study explores the utility of non-selective cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) for pre-operative spinal arterial mapping to identify the Adamkiewicz artery (AKA) in patients undergoing open or endovascular repair of the descending thoracic or thoracoabdominal aorta at risk of spinal cord ischemia. Pre-operative non-selective dual-phase CBCT after intra-aortic contrast injection was performed in the aortic segment to be treated.
