Abstract

PURPOSE: To show that a deep learning (DL)-based, automated model for Lipiodol (Guerbet Pharmaceuticals, Paris, France) segmentation on cone-beam computed tomography (CT) after conventional transarterial chemoembolization performs closer to the "ground truth segmentation" than a conventional thresholding-based model.
