3D inpatient dose reconstruction from the PET-CT imaging of ⁹⁰Y microspheres for metastatic cancer to the liver: Feasibility study

Abstract

A three-dimensional inpatient dose reconstruction method has been developed that is based on the PET/CT data of a patient treated with 90Y microspheres. It allows for a complete description of the absorbed dose by the tumor and critical structures. It represents the first step in building predictive models for treatment outcomes for patients receiving this therapeutic modality as well as it allows for better analysis of patients' dose response and will ultimately improve future treatment administration.
