Description

Chemoembolization of tumors uses three dimensional cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) to both block arteries that feed the tumor and deliver chemotherapy agents directly to the tumor. CBCT imaging is able to give detailed visualization of tumor vascularity, location, size, and volume. Beads infused with chemotherapy drug such as doxorubicin are combined with contrast and delivered to the arteries that feed the tumor and block blood from nourishing it. The chemotherapy agent then disseminates into the tumor. A visual verification of devascularization of the vessels feeding the tumor and saturation of the tumor with contrast agent is mandatory to ensure full treatment of the tumor burden and predict tumor response.[http://pubs.rsna.org/doi/pdf/10.1148/radiol.14131925] Source: Regenstrief LOINC
