Injectable radiopaque targets for cone-beam CT guided histotripsy

Key Points

• This research examines the safety and effectiveness of injectable radiopaque targets for guiding histotripsy procedures using cone-beam CT.
• Developed percutaneously injectable barium-based targets
• Evaluated safety and targetability using cone-beam CT
• Assessed impact on histotripsy treatment zone size in vivo.
• Targets were acutely safe and targetable
• No alteration in histotripsy treatment zone size was observed in vivo.
