Breast biopsies successful with integrated 3D digital breast tomosynthesis
By Eric Barnes
Tuesday, November 30 | 3:00 p.m.-3:10 p.m.| SSJ01-01 | Room E352French researchers using 3D digital breast tomosynthesis are finding lesions that can't be visualized on conventional 2D mammography, and by integrating a tomosynthesis biopsy unit, they say they can biopsy and analyze a broader range of breast lesions compared with 2D digital mammography.

Onyx embolization feasible, safe for head and neck tumors
By Eric Barnes
Monday, November 29 | 3:50 p.m.-4:00 p.m. | SSE17-06 | Room N229For preoperative preparation of patients with highly vascularized head and neck tumors, embolization with Onyx is safe and more effective than standard preoperative endovascular embolization with polyvinyl alcohol microparticles, according to a German study.

CTA parameters quantify arterial narrowing in aSAH patients
By Eric Barnes
Monday, November 29 | 3:20 p.m.-3:30 p.m. | SSE17-03 | Room N229In patients presenting with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH), whole-brain CT perfusion (CTP) and CT angiography (CTA) provide baseline perfusion parameters for future comparison when CTA is performed for evaluating a suspected ruptured aneurysm, researchers will report in this Monday session.

Good stroke outcomes seen after forced suction thrombectomy
By Eric Barnes
Monday, November 29 | 3:00 p.m.-3:10 p.m. | SSE17-01 | Room N229The Penumbra revascularization system is an excellent recanalization tool for ischemic stroke patients; however, it can't recanalize every occluded vessel. Fortunately, a simple modification of Penumbra makes it possible to recanalize many other cases, say researchers from South Korea.

TEA edges out TACE for ablation of unresectable HCC
By Eric Barnes
Sunday, November 28 | 11:45 a.m.-11:55 a.m. | SSA24-07 | Room E350Transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) is the standard ablation method for unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), but transarterial ethanol ablation (TEA) may gain a foothold as an alternative method due to its potential for better outcomes, Hong Kong researchers report.

Risk factors predict need for eventual reintervention after aneurysm repair
By Eric Barnes
Sunday, November 28 | 11:15 a.m.-11:25 a.m. | SSA23-04 | Room E352What are the chances an endovascular aneurysm repair for an abdominal aortic aneurysm will need reintervention? Using computer-aided detection, one can predict the odds before the procedure takes place -- and even better postoperatively, as soon as the patient is sewn up, say researchers from Kingston University in London.

Fusion imaging system enables ablation of liver tumors undetectable at US
By Eric Barnes
Sunday, November 28 | 11:05 a.m.-11:15 a.m. | SSA24-03 | Room E350A real-time fusion imaging system that combines ultrasound with CT or MRI allows liver tumors to be targeted and ablated that otherwise would not have been detected on ultrasound, according to this study to be presented on Sunday.

CT attenuation changes after RFA predict 6-month HCC outcomes
By Eric Barnes
Sunday, November 28 | 10:55 a.m.-11:05 a.m. | SSA24-02 | Room E350Patients destined to show signs of recurrence after radiofrequency ablation (RFA) of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) lesions reveal different CT attenuation patterns within 24 hours of the procedure, according to researchers from Mexico.

Technical issues render US-guided HCC ablation unfeasible
By Eric Barnes
Sunday, November 28 | 10:45 a.m.-10:55 a.m. | SSA24-01 | Room E350Ultrasound-guided radiofrequency ablation is one of the best options for patients with small hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) lesions, which are often considered inoperable. But the procedure is technically unfeasible in nearly 40% of candidates for a variety of reasons, say researchers from South Korea.
