Abstract No. 196 Prospective Multi-Center Pivotal Trial of a Novel Software Application for Real-Time Assessment of Tissue Damage as Depicted Sonographically During Liver Tissue Ablation Procedures
An increase of liver microwave ablation (MWA) volume within 24 hours post-procedure due to delayed tissue injury was previously reported. The current study aims to demonstrate the effectiveness of an artificial intelligence-based image analysis software (SW) for estimation of the ablation zone from intra-procedural ultrasound as compared to 24-hour post-procedure contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CECT).

Abstract No. 198 AI-Powered Assistant for Procedure Request Routing in a Large Hospital System
Within large hospital systems, difficulty with routing procedure requests to the appropriate team and covering provider can delay patient care and cause frustration for both radiologists and ordering clinicians. Furthermore, the heterogeneity of interventional radiology practices further increases complexity for procedure requests between non-vascular interventional teams or procedure teams from other specialties. Artificial intelligence (AI) large language models (LLMs) enable a wide range of capabilities across industries. (Source: Journal of Vascular and Interventional Radiology : JVIR)

Abstract No. 199 Toward Procedural Registry Automation for Interventional Oncology: Using Large Language Model to Extract Critical Diagnostic Imaging Findings Following Percutaneous Liver Ablation
Procedural registries are essential for accumulating clinical evidence and quality improvement in interventional oncology. Currently, registries are built upon manual review of post-interventions follow-up images, a time-consuming specialized task that limits widespread adoption of such registries. Here, we used a large language model (LLM) to read free-text diagnostic imaging reports of patients who underwent percutaneous ablation (PTA) of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and automatically extract critical findings that suggest cancer progression.

Abstract No. 201 Lesion Segmentation and 3D Fluoroscopic Overlay in Transbronchial Lung Biopsy
Bronchoscopy-guided and image-guided lung biopsies each play a key role in the pathologic diagnosis of malignancies in the lung. Merging these technologies combines the central accessibility and lower complication rate of bronchoscopic biopsies with the precision and reach of image-guided biopsies. The purpose of this study is to describe our experience using a combination of cone-beam CT (CBCT), 3D coregistration and fluoroscopic overlay tools, and electromagnetic navigational bronchoscopy (EMNB) to guide transbronchial lung biopsies.

Abstract No. 204 Investigation of Natural Killer Cell Delivery in Hepatocellular Carcinoma Treatment with Magnetic Resonance Imaging Radiomics
The assessment of treatment outcomes of NK cell therapy in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) at an early stage remains a challenge due to the absence of immediate discernible alterations in tumor size. Our study explores the feasibility of employing machine learning models based on radiomic features to achieve a more accurate appraisal of treatment outcomes of NK cell delivery and its combination with Sorafenib treatment in HCC.

Abstract No. 205 Intravascular Ultrasound During Tunneled Hemodialysis Catheter Exchange: A Tool to Improve Technical Success
Venous stenoses and fibrin sheath formation are common causes of hemodialysis (HD) catheter failure. Catheter exchange is an effective treatment of a poorly functioning HD catheter. The current study evaluates the use of intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) to augment detection of these chronic complicating features and to facilitate catheter positioning when compared to venography alone.

Abstract No. 207 Single-Institution Outcomes of Self-expanding PTFE-Covered Stents Throughout the Dialysis Circuit
Practice in the preservation of hemodialysis access points including fistulas and grafts has evolved to include placement of bare-metal, drug-eluting, and PTFE-covered stents. Randomized clinical IDE trials such as REVISE and RENOVA have investigated the outcomes of self-expanding covered stents focused specifically on the venous anastomotic segment. The purpose of this study is to present the patency outcomes of self-expanding stent use in the dialysis circuit not falling within the traditional IFU recommendations.
