Added Value of CT Arterial Subtraction Images in Liver Imaging Reporting and Data System Treatment Response Categorization for Transcatheter Arterial Chemoembolization-Treated Hepatocellular Carcinoma
Conclusions
The LR-TR viable category is highly specific but inadequately sensitive for detecting viable tumor in TACE-treated HCC on conventional multiphasic CT. Adding arterial subtraction images to the conventional CT images significantly increases sensitivity without compromising the specificity and improves the diagnostic confidence of LR-TR viable category.
