Radiation exposure during TACE procedures using additional cone-beam CT (CBCT) for guidance: safety and precautions.

Conclusion CBCT adds radiation exposure in TACE. However, the capability of CBCT to detect vessels and overlay in real-time during fluoroscopy facilitates TACE with resultant reduction of DAPs up to 46%.
