A: Cone beam computed tomography showing a nodule with contrast enhancement located in S4 with EmboGuide Software allowing the identification of the route (yellow line) from catheter tip to lesion; B: EmboGuide reconstruction; C: Angiography demonstrating catheterization of the lesion-feeder vessel.

A: Computed tomography (CT) showing hepatocellular carcinoma nodule (5-6 cm) located in S2; B: Cone beam CT demonstrating superselective catheterization of the segmental S2 artery with perfused nodule; C: Single-photon emission tomography combined with CT showing 99mTc-MAA uptake into S2; D: 12-months CT follow-up scan showing complete nodule necrosis with no contrast enhancement and atrophy of the treated liver lobe (radiation segmentectomy).
