Abstract

In this study, we evaluated the feasibility of using a virtual puncture line in 3D CT for the treatment of 21 hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) nodules in the caudate lobe. There were no severe complications in this study. Thus, the treatment of HCC nodules in the caudate lobe using a virtual puncture line is feasible.
