Sensitivity of Superselective Arteriography for Small Hepatocellular Carcinoma Compared with Proximal Arteriography and Computed Tomography During Superselective Arteriography

Sensitivity of superselective arteriography for small hepatocellular carcinoma compared with proximal arteriography and computed tomography during superselective arteriography.

PURPOSE To obtain successful arterial chemoembolization for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), we evaluated the sensitivity of proximal arteriography, superselective (subsegmental or more distal branch) arteriography and computed tomography (CT) during superselective arteriography and assessed the method for the injection of contrast medium. METHODS Thirty-two patients with 38 HCCs (< or = 5 cm)...

Arteriography

In my present paper I wish to consider certain disease processes which have increased in number in the past few years, not only among hospital patients, but also in general practice. The processes in question are due to pathological changes in the blood vessels of the limbs. The patients are chiefly men of relatively young age otherwise fit for work. Their lot is pitiable, not only because of t...

Detection of liver metastases from colorectal carcinoma: is there a place for routine computed tomography arteriography?

BACKGROUND A prospective evaluation of the liver by preoperative ultrasonography, conventional computed tomography (CT), and continuous CT angiography (CCTA) was performed in 60 patients with primary or secondary colorectal carcinoma. METHODS The standards of reference were palpation of the liver and intraoperative ultrasonography. The imaging techniques were assessed independently of each ot...

Clinical usefulness of computed tomography arteriography and computed tomography during arterial portography for the diagnosis of early and early advanced hepatocellular carcinoma.

OBJECTIVE We examined the clinical usefulness of two techniques of Angio Computed tomography (CT), namely, CT arteriography (CTA) and CT during arterial portography (CTAP), for the diagnosis of early hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and early advanced HCC. MATERIALS AND METHODS The subjects were six patients with a total of seven lesions: three had one early HCC lesion each, and three had four ...
