Planning Arteriography for Yttrium-90 Microsphere Radioembolization.
Yttrium-90 radioembolization (Y RE) is a contemporary transcatheter locoregional therapy for primary and secondary hepatic malignancies that is commonly utilized in modern Interventional Radiology (IR) practice.1 Unlike other targeted endovascular therapies, such as transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) and transarterial embolization (TAE), the current standard of care protocol for Y RE treatm...
متن کاملYttrium-90 microsphere radioembolization for hepatocellular carcinoma.
Yttrium-90 (Y90) radioembolization is an emerging strategy to treat liver malignancies, and clinical data supporting its use have accumulated in recent years. Y90-radioembolization has shown clinical effectiveness in intermediate and advanced hepatocellular carcinoma, with a favorable safety profile. Retrospective data show similar levels of effectiveness to transarterial chemoembolization in i...
متن کاملA Comparison of Techniques for 90Y PET/CT Image-Based Dosimetry Following Radioembolization with Resin Microspheres
(90)Y PET/CT following radioembolization has recently been established as a viable diagnostic tool, capable of producing images that are both quantitative and have superior image quality than alternative (90)Y imaging modalities. Because radioembolization is assumed to be a permanent implant, it is possible to convert quantitative (90)Y PET image sets into data representative of spatial committ...
متن کاملDosimetric techniques in 90Y-microsphere therapy of liver cancer: The MIRD equations for dose calculations.
Therapy with 90Y-microspheres is emerging as a mainstream treatment modality in the management of patients with primary and metastatic liver cancer (1,2). The technique involves the administration of 90Y-microspheres into the hepatic artery, which is accessed via the transfemoral route or through a hepatic arterial infusion port or pump. The technique was first introduced by Ariel, who also rep...
متن کاملMicrosphere Radioembolization for Liver Malignancies: A Technical Overview
The incidence of the liver tumors is increasing worldwide; concurrently liver directed therapies are also evolving rapidly. Management of these complex disease processes involves a multidisciplinary approach, hence it is imperative to understand the underlying management principles thoroughly. This overview is intended to provide an easy, step by step approach to transcatheter brachytherapy, al...
