Abstract:

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the correlation between pretreatment planning technetium-99m (99mTc) macroaggregated albumin (MAA) SPECT images and posttreatment transarterial radioembolization (TARE) yttirum-90 (90Y) PET/CT images by comparing the ratios of tumor-to-normal liver counts
