Abstract

Transarterial treatment of liver tumors is becoming increasingly common and is considered first- or second-line therapy for many tumor types and stages. Such therapies are heavily dependent on imaging during the procedures; while angiography remains the mainstay of intraprocedural therapies, cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) is becoming increasingly commonly used to guide therapy. This article describes the role of CBCT during transarterial therapies and offers guidance as to how CBCT can be optimally used for these procedures.
