BACKGROUND: The knowledge of the anatomic features is imperative for successful modeling of the different surgical situations. This study aims to describe the anatomic features of the porcine using computerized tomography (CT) scan.
BACKGROUND/AIMS: Intraoperative blood loss is an independent predictor of recurrence and survival after resection of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The aim of this study was to identify the risk factors associated with intraoperative major blood los...
PURPOSE: This study compared proximal and distal embolization of the splenic artery (SA) in patients with splenic artery steal syndrome (SAS) after orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT) regarding post interventional changes of liver function to iden...
Motion compensation can eliminate inconsistencies of respiratory movement during image acquisitions for precise vascular reconstruction in the clinical diagnosis of vascular disease from x-ray angiographic image sequences. In x-ray-based vascular int...
Although transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) is the most widely used treatment for intermediate-stage, unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), it is only effective in a subset of patients. In this study, we combine clinical, radiological, and...

The goal of this study was to evaluate the performance of a convolutional neural network (CNN) with preoperative MRI and clinical factors in predicting the treatment response of unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients receiving hepatic a...
Using external actuation sources to navigate untethered drug-eluting microrobots in the bloodstream offers great promise in improving the selectivity of drug delivery, especially in oncology, but the current field forces are difficult to maintain wit...
PURPOSE: To evaluate the effect of deep learning reconstruction (DLR) on vascular depiction, tumor enhancement, and image quality of computed tomography hepatic arteriography (CTHA) images acquired during transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TAC...
