Advanced Intraprocedural Imaging Applications in Hepatobiliary Intervention

Abstract

Intraprocedural three-dimensional imaging and guidance tools, such as cone-beam CT (CBCT), provide valuable guidance in navigating through challenging vascular and nonvascular structures while performing complex hepatobiliary and portal venous interventions, especially in patients with unconventional anatomy and technically difficult pathology. With the advent of these tools, many of the procedures that were once considered contraindicated can now be performed due to improved safety profile and operator confidence. This review describes application of these tools in various oncologic and nononcologic hepatobiliary and portal venous interventions.
