DOI: 10.1002/mp.13168

Abstract: PURPOSE Prior to 90 Y radioembolization, a pretreatment procedure is performed, in which 99m Tc-macroaggerated albumin (99m Tc-MAA) is administered to estimate the amount of activity shunting to the lungs. A high lung shunt fraction… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.jhep.2020.02.024

Abstract: BACKGROUND AND AIMS Pre-treatment Tc-99m MAA (MAA) scan is routinely performed prior to transarterial radioembolization (TARE) to estimate lung shunt fraction (LSF) and lung dose. In this study, we investigate LSF observed in early hepatocellular… read more here.

DOI: 10.1088/1361-6560/ab4e49

Abstract: Radioembolization treatment is preceded by a 99mTc-MAA safety procedure, which is used to estimate the lung shunt fraction (LSF). Normally, the LSF is estimated by using the geometric mean of planar scintigraphy (PS-GM). However, concern… read more here.

DOI: 10.1097/rlu.0000000000004428

Abstract: ABSTRACT Intra-arterial injection of radioactive isotope 90-yttrium 90Y has been used for elective internal radiation therapy for the treatment of localized hepatocellular carcinoma deemed surgically unresectable. It has also been used to treat intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma… read more here.
