Quantitative comparison of pre-treatment predictive and post-treatment measured dosimetry for selective internal radiation therapy using cone-beam CT for tumor and liver perfusion territory definition

Abstract Background Selective internal radiation therapy (SIRT) is a promising treatment for unresectable hepatic malignancies. Predictive dose calculation based on a simulation using 99m Tc-labeled macro-aggregated albumin (99m Tc-MAA) before the treatment is considered as a potential tool for pati...
