 PAGE \* MERGEFORMAT 8 Regular follow-up CT after TACE liver Experience Of: Xu Lijun, Zhang Guimin, Xiao-Feng Zhang [Abstract] Objective To investigate patients with liver cancer via hepatic arterial chemoembolization in (TACE), the use of enhanced CT scan follow-up value. Method to analyze 968 cases of patients with CT scans after TACE and TACE-made video with the controls. Results 968 patients after TACE, CT-chip iodized oil deposition in the liver tumors and lesions around the availability of the new generation is divided into three performance: Scan shows iodized oil deposition in the liver tumor is more homogeneous and agglomerate was full of the tumor, lesions were significantly smaller than the previous 375 cases, accounting for 38.7%; scan showed the lesion was irregular distribution of patchy iodized oil, some defects, more than in the peripheral part of the lesions were not significantly increased to 512 cases, accounting for 52.9%; scan lesions show only a few spots, plates iodized oil accumulation around the blood supply to the formation of new lesions or lesions larger area than before TACE were 81 cases, accounting for 8.4%. Conclusion CT follow-up observation of more intuitively evaluate the efficacy of TACE, selected according to results of the scan time again TACE to improve the diagnosis and treatment, reducing the patient’s suffering and economic burden on the follow-up treatment is also important guiding significance. [Keywords:] liver; hepatic arterial chemoembolization; CT; regular follow-up In recent years, with the development of interventional radiology, the hepatic arterial chemoembolization (TACE) has become the preferred non-surgical method of treatment of liver cancer [1]. But often require repeated TACE, and its follow-up treatment indicators than clinical examination In addition, through the efficacy of imaging is also an important means of evaluation. The group of 968 cases after TACE in patients 30 to 45 days or so w
