Patients in group A were only treated with digital subtraction angiography (DSA) during the operation, while those in group B received DSA and CBCT during the operation. The operation time, radiation dose, detection rate of tumor lesions, and lipiodol deposition were compared between two groups. </span></span></span><span lang="en-US" style="font-size:9.0pt"><span style="font-family:Calibri"><span style="color:#1f497d"><span style="font-style:italic"><span style="font-weight:bold"><span style="language:en-US">Results: </span></span></span></span></span></span><span lang="en-US" style="font-size:9.0pt"><span style="font-family:Calibri"><span style="language:en-US">In group A, 54 lesions were identified before operation, 48 lesions during intraoperative angiography, and 6 lesions remained undetected. In group B, 57 LC lesions were identified before operation, and 57 lesions during intraoperative CBCT enhanced scan, and 2 small LC lesions not presented previously were detected. The number of lesions with complete lipiodol precipitation in group B (42) was clearly higher as against group A (32) (P < 0.05). The operation time of group B was clearly longer as against group A (P < 0.05), but there existed no substantial difference in radiation dose patients in different groups (P > 0.05). </span></span></span><span lang="en-US" style="font-size:9.0pt"><span style="font-family:Calibri"><span style="color:#1f497d"><span style="font-style:italic"><span style="font-weight:bold"><span style="language:en-US">Conclusion: </span></span></span></span></span></span><span lang="en-US" style="font-size:9.0pt"><span style="font-family:Calibri"><span style="language:en-US">The results indicated that CBCT enhanced scan was superior to conventional DSA in detecting tumor&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; lesions, nutrient arteries, and lipiodol deposition in patients undergoing LC chemoembolization. Importantly, this enhanced method did not increase radiation dose but prolonged the operation time.</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></div> Cone-beam computed tomography, hepatocellular carcinomas, transcatheter arterial chemoembolization, prognosis. 1037 1042 http://ijrr.com/browse.php?a_code=A-10-1-1273&slc_lang=en&sid=1 S.
