Tumor embolization

Effective guidance in treatment and decision-making for tumor embolization

The ability to detect and differentiate 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 and sparing healthy tissue increases the opportunity for success. Confirmation of treatment endpoint and treatment success while the patient is still on the table boosts clinical outcome confidence and enables efficient follow-up treatment planning.

Demonstrated results of EmboGuide in tumor embolization

 

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.3

86% sensitivity3

Automatic Feeder Detection software improved feeding artery detection rates to 86% sensitivity3 during transarterial chemoembolization of HCC lesions with better user reproducibility compared with Cone-Beam CT alone.

57% fewer false positives3

Automatic Feeder Detection software can reduce false positives by 57%.3

99.7% reader agreement3

AFD software significantly improved detection of feeding arteries with 99.7% reader agreement.3

22% less recurrence using CBCT vs 2D imaging alone4

A study showed that the recurrence rate of liver cancer within 36 months after TACE treatment is 52% using 2D imaging alone, and 30% using Cone Beam CT monitoring.4
