Background This is a prospective study of 44 patients having 57 hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) lesions indicated for transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) and a control group of 41 patients having 55 HCC lesions. TACE in the study group was performed on an angiography machine with an installed automated feeder detection (AFD) software (EmboGuide; Philips Healthcare, Best, The Netherlands) and in the control group was performed on a similar angiography machine (ALLURA XPER FD 20, Philips, Holland), but lacking the AFD software. The aim is to evaluate the clinical utilization of cone-beam CT (CBCT) and (AFD) software in accurate detection of (HCC) arterial feeders, the effect of (AFD) software utilization on the outcome of (TACE) and its utilization effect on fluoroscopy time and radiation dose to the patient during the (TACE) procedure. Results The highest percentage of agreement was between the number of arterial feeders detected by EmboGuide and the actual number of feeders detect during embolization reaching 91.2% with  p  value &lt; 0.001. The residual non-intended non-embolized areas among the study group at 1-month follow-up were found in 2 out of 57 lesions compared to 9 out of 55 lesions in the control group. The average dose-area product (DAP) among the study group was less than that of the control group. Conclusion CBCT using AFD software provides more information about tumor feeders with consequent more efficient targeted embolization, higher success rate of TACE and less patient exposure to radiation.

The efficacy of TACE; how can automated feeder software help?
