Figure 2: Images from a 71-year-old male with cirrhosis and a known HCC in the right lobe of the liver treated with ethiodol based TACE. An arrow shows the tumor location in each image. A) CT demonstrates a hyperdense region corresponding to the ethiodol distribution. Separated b) water, c) fat and d) calculated fat-fraction images are also shown. MR validation and quantification of TACE treatm...

OBJECTIVE We wanted to determine whether transcatheter Ethiodol-based capillary embolization in combination with carboplatin could improve the efficiency of a 1:1 Ethiodol-ethanol mixture (EEM) to ablate kidneys that been inoculated with VX-2 carcinoma. MATERIALS AND METHODS The right kidney in 34 New Zealand white rabbits were inoculated with fresh VX-2 tumor fragments. One week later, the k...

A 28-year-old man with long-standing right proptosis presented with an extensive multilobulated partially cystic orbital mass thought to be a lymphangioma. Because of concern that excision or debulking of the lesion was likely to be complicated by excessive bleeding, the lesion was injected with a mixture of ethiodized oil (Ethiodol) and cyanoacrylate glue under direct observation. The mixture ...

BACKGROUND Almost all x-ray-based techniques intended to assess regional myocardial perfusion from myocardial concentration-time curves following the administration of soluble contrast agents assume that these agents behave as intravascular indicators and can therefore provide measurements of intravascular transit time and intramyocardial blood volume. METHODS AND RESULTS We tested this assum...
