  • Transarterial Radioembolisation (TARE): The procedure involves injecting tiny beads containing radioactive material through a catheter. 

  • Portal vein embolization: The blood flow is selectively stopped to one of the liver lobes by embolizing the right or left portal vein.

  • Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) and  Microwave Ablation (MWA): Ablation procedures are usually performed for liver tumours and benign bone lesions.
