Abstract
A cone-beam lowers the X-ray exposure level and the contrast material dose used compared to those for the conventional angiography-computed tomography (angio-CT) technique. Herein we present a patient with a metastatic skull base bone tumor in which the subtraction image of cone-beam CT with a flat panel detector was useful for evaluating the vascular supply during superselective intraarterial chemotherapy. Although the image quality of cone-beam CT is poorer than that of conventional angio-CT, the cone-beam CT system is sufficient for clinical use.
