Advances in SPECT for Optimizing the Liver Tumors Radioembolization Using Yttrium-90 Microspheres
Radioembolization (RE) with Yttrium-90 ( 90 Y) microspheres is an effective treatment for unresectable liver tumors. The activity of the microspheres to be administered should be calculated based on the type of microspheres.
