Lung shunt fraction calculation using (99m)Tc-MAA SPECT/CT imaging for (90)Y microsphere selective internal radiation therapy of liver tumors

BACKGROUND: (99m)Tc-macroaggregated albumin ((99m)Tc-MAA) scintigraphy is utilized in treatment planning for Yttrium-90 ((90)Y) Selective Internal Radiation Therapy (SIRT) of liver tumors to evaluate hepatopulmonary shunting by calculating the lung shunt fraction (LSF). The purpose of this study was...
