OBJECTIVE: To evaluate retrospectively the clinical effectiveness of FlightPlan for Liver (FPFL), an automated tumor-feeding artery detection software in cone-beam CT angiography (CBCTA), in identifying tumor-feeding arteries for the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) using three different segmentation sensitivities. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The study included 50 patients with 80 HCC nodules who received transarterial chemoembolization. Standard digital subtracted angiography (DSA) and CB

OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to assess the technical feasibility, procedural safety, and long-term therapeutic efficacy of a small-sized ambulatory thoracic vent (TV) device for the treatment of pneumothorax. MATERIALS AND METHODS: From November 2012 to July 2013, 18 consecutive patients (3 females, 15 males) aged 16-64 years (mean: 34.7 ± 14.9 years, median: 29 years) were enrolled prospectively. Of these, 15 patients had spontaneous pneumothorax and 3 had iatrogenic pneumothorax. A Tru-Close TV

Background/Aims: To retrospectively compare conventional and drug-eluting beads transarterial chemoembolization (C-TACE and DEB-TACE) for treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) at very early and early stages.

Background: Benign biliary stricture (BBS) often responds to conventional nonsurgical approaches but remains challenging if obstruction is complete. Magnetic compression anastomosis (MCA) has emerged as a nonsurgical alternative. Methods: MCA was performed in patients with completely obstructed BBS unresponsive to endoscopic or percutaneous techniques. One magnet was inserted through a percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage pathway, while the other was advanced through an alternative route.

Background/Aims: To retrospectively compare conventional and drug-eluting beads transarterial chemoembolization (C-TACE and DEB-TACE) for treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) at very early and early stages. Methods: We retrospectively compared patients treated with C-TACE (n=115) or DEB-TACE (n=103) from September 2009 to May 2016. All patients were in a very early (stage 0) or early stage (stage A) of the Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer (BCLC) staging system, and all had Child– Pugh class

제 1형 다발성 내분비 선종은 특징적인 임상적, 영상의학적 소견을 갖는 유전성 질환이다. 지금까지 이 질환의 임상적, 유전학적 소견에 대한 보고는 많았으나 영상의학적소견에 대한 증례 보고는 없었다. 저자들은 위 십이지장 궤양의 임상 증상을 가진 환자에서 영상의학적 소견을 기반으로 하여 제 1형 다발성 내분비 선종을 진단한 예를 보고한다.
