Adoption of chemo/radioembolization techniques such as TACE and SIRT drives the need for standardization and efficiency. Case after case, you must reliably and consistently locate the tumor(s), identify all feeder vessels, and plan/execute the appropriate interventional approach. Our Automatic Feeder Detection solution can significantly improve feeding artery detection compared to using Cone Beam CT alone. EmboGuide supports you in maximizing the efficacy of your TACE procedures as it potentially enhances your sensitivity, reduces false positives and maximizes inter-reader agreement.1

The ability to detect and differentiate hepatic nodules and identify tiny feeder vessels is critical to determining proper therapy. Navigating to the region of interest by reaching all feeders, while remaining selective to the lesion, increases the opportunity for success. Confirmation of treatment endpoint and treatment success while the patient is still on the table boosts clinical outcome confidence.
By opening the arc to the left of the patient, CBCT Open allows off center positioning of the patient table and therefore better centering of the FOV3-4. It significantly increases image coverage to help visualize tumors on the periphery of the liver.4
CBCT Dual enables 3D acquisition of an arterial phase to visualize vascular structures and a post-arterial (delayed phase) to visualize accumulation of contrast medium, in a single automatic step.5
Dual View allows simultaneous visualization of two CBCT datasets. Both arterial and delayed phase can be displayed next to each other or in a single fused overlay view.
A post embolization 3D acquisition allows you to visualize the targeted deposition of embolic material, such as Liopidol or radiopaque beads, in the tumor.5
Dual View allows simultaneous visualization of pre-embolization arterial phase 3D image and the post embolization image to assess treatment endpoint.
