Quantitative 4D Transcatheter Intraarterial Perfusion MRI for Standardizing Angiographic Chemoembolization Endpoints

Abstract

The subjective angiographic chemoembolization endpoint rating scale shows very good consistency between raters and significantly correlates with objectively measured intraprocedural perfusion reductions during TACE. These results support the use of the scale as a standardized alternative method in quantitative 4D transcatheter intraarterial perfusion MRI to classify patients on the basis of embolic endpoints of TACE.
