The value of (99m)Tc-MAA SPECT/CT for lung shunt estimation in (90)Y radioembolization: a phantom and patient study

BACKGROUND: A major toxicity concern in radioembolization therapy of hepatic malignancies is radiation-induced pneumonitis and sclerosis due to hepatopulmonary shunting of (90)Y microspheres. Currently, (99m)Tc macroaggregated albumin ((99m)Tc-MAA) imaging is used to estimate the lung shunt fraction...
