A one-stage method for obtaining CT during arterial portography and hepatic arteriography

Acta Radiol. 1994 Mar;35(2):135-7.

Abstract

We describe a new technique for performing CT during arterial portography (CTAP) and during hepatic arteriography (CTHA) in a one-stage procedure, using a coaxial balloon catheter system and slip-ring CT equipment. This technique was employed in 10 patients with liver neoplasms. Both CTAP and CTHA images were obtained in all patients.
