Abstract

90Y-PET is a promising and reliable technique for microsphere biodistribution evaluation after liver selective internal radiotherapy treatment. Because of the better resolution and the possibility to perform computed tomography fusion, 90Y-PET images are more accurate than 99mTc-MAA single-photon emission computed tomography, which is now considered the gold standard for biodistribution assessment.
