Concordant F-18 FDG PET and Y-90 Bremsstrahlung scans depict selective delivery of Y-90-microspheres to liver tumors: confirmation with histopathology.

Abstract:Selective Internal Radiation Therapy using yttrium-90 (Y-90) microspheres is a novel method for the treatment of advanced liver cancer. The procedure involves intrahepatic arterial delivery of the Y-90 microspheres. Since hepatic tumors derive their blood supply mainly from the hepatic arte
