2020 02 06 22 25 0448 Contrast Injector 400

The Taiwan Ministry of Health and Welfare has delivered registration for Guerbet's contrast media kit Vectorio.

Vectorio is a mixing and injection system for administering Guerbet's Lipiodol Ultra Fluid plus an anticancer drug during transarterial chemoembolization procedures. It is designed for adults with intermediate-stage hepatocellular carcinoma.

The system received the European CE Mark in August 2017 and officially launched in September 2017. It is currently registered in 25 countries.

F-18 FDG and Ga-68 FAPI-46 images of a 51-year-old woman with adenocarcinoma with lepidic growth pattern in right upper lobe. (A) Maximum-intensity-projection PET images. The lesion had F-18 FDG uptake below blood pool level but was strongly Ga-68 FAPI-46-positive. CT-guided biopsy led to pathologic diagnosis of adenocarcinoma, and the patient was treated by stereotactic body radiation therapy because of functional inoperability.
