Role of stereotactic body radiation therapy for hepatocellular carcinoma

Figure 2 Computed tomography sections demonstrating typical locations treated with stereotactic body radiation therapy. Areas indicated with hatched lines can be safely treated with stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT), although these areas are difficult to approach for percutaneous ablation. Liver tumors located adjacent to the stomach and bowels (dotted areas) are not suitable for SBRT. Other unmarked areas can be treated either with SBRT or percutaneous ablation.
