Abstract

The article provides information on the microsphere radioembolization of liver malignancies radiolabelled with yttrium-90 (Y-RE) isotope injected into the hepatic artery. As stated, currently two types of Y-microspheres are used including TheraSphere® microspheres which has a glass matrix and SIR-Spheres&® which is a resin based microsphere. It states that a microsphere which allows in vivo imaging both during and after administration of treatment dose is to be developed.
