Cone-Beam Computed Tomography-Hepatic Arteriography as a Diagnostic Tool for Small Hypervascular Hepatocellular Carcinomas: Method and Clinical Implications

摘要

This study proposes a novel reference standard for hypervascular hepatocellular carcinomas (HCCs), established by cone-beam computed tomography-hepatic arteriography (CBCT-HA) and two-year imaging follow-up, and discusses its clinical implication on tumor staging and understanding the intrahepatic distant recurrence (IDR) in relation to dynamic computed tomography (CT).
