My department has a couple new IRs and their preference for Y90 mappings and treatments is to use radial artery access. My question is regarding patient positioning during cone beam CT spins. How do you effectively position the accessed extremity during c-arm spins? Our most recent patient had a large BMI and we couldn't line up our isocenter effectively while still maintaining enough c-arm clearance during the spin. We accessed the left radial artery during the case (left arm along patient's side and right arm above the head during the spins). Any helpful tips?
