Understanding Current Trends and Advances in Transarterial Radioembolization Dosimetry [PDF]
DiagnosticsTransarterial radioembolization (TARE) is an established therapy for primary and secondary hepatic malignancies. Outcomes depend heavily on dosimetry, which has evolved from empirical and body-surface-area methods to partition and voxel-based approaches.
