Abstract: ABSTRACT Arterial mapping and 99mTc-macroaggregated albumin (99mTc-MAA) hepatic perfusion imaging are routinely performed before 90Y radioembolization of hepatic tumors. These procedures serve multiple purposes, including an anatomical survey of hepatic arterial anatomy, interrogating expected microsphere… read more here.
