Abstract:BackgroundUsual clinical dosimetry models for trans-arterial radioembolization (TARE) is based on assumption of uniform dose distribution in each tissue compartment. We performed a simple voxel-based dosimetry using post-treatment yttrium-90 (90Y) microsphere PET in TARE and investigated the prognostic value of dosimetry parameters from the voxel-based dosimetry.MethodTwenty-eight patients with hepatocellular carcinoma who underwent TARE using 90Y-microsphere were retrospectively included. Mean absorbed dose o… Show more
