A Comparison of Chemoembolization Endpoints Using Angiographic versus Transcatheter Intraarterial Perfusion/MR Imaging Monitoring

Angiographic endpoints during TACE vary widely, have moderate reproducibility among operators, and do not correlate with functional MR imaging perfusion endpoints. Future research should aim to determine ideal angiographic and functional MR imaging endpoints for TACE according to outcome measures such as imaging response, pathologic response, and survival.
