This is an elaborated presentation on the current aspects of the dosimetry in Y90 radioembolization. This presentation was supposed to be presented at the ISVIR 2020.      

Injection of Tc99m MAA to measure shunting is routine practice prior to Y90 radioembolization of hepatic tumors.  Trials have shown inconclusive data on if MAA distribution can be used to predict Y90 dosimetry and also limited for quantitative assessment. This study was performed to assess dosimtery on the MAA based on local deposition method and its […]
