An 67-year-old male with HCC in segment 2. a Arterial phase of dynamic CT showed a hypervacular mass (arrow). b DSA in segment 2 showed a tumor stain (arrow). c First-phase standard CTHA in segment 2 showed a round hypervascular mass (arrow). d First-phase BO-CTHA in segment 2 showed a perfusion defect (arrowhead) in the tumor. e Plain CT obtained immediately after B-TACE showed good accumulation in the tumor with a CT value of 833 HU. f Arterial phases of dynamic CT at 3 month after B-TACE showed lipiodol washout and early enhancement, indicating a poor TE. Despite the relatively high CT value immediately after B-TACE, most of the lipiodol was washed out. This is presumably because the inflow from the peribiliary plexus or isolated artery would wash away the lipiodol suspension
