Abstract
Purpose: Current treatment planning for 90Y radioembolization estimates lung mean dose (LMD) by measuring the lung shunt fraction (LSF) from 99mTc-macroaggregated albumin (MAA) planar imaging and assuming a 1-kg lung mass. This methodology, however, overestimates LSF and LMD and could therefore unnecessarily limit the dose to target volume(s). We propose
