A Cases Series of Discrepancies in Lung Shunt Fraction Calculation Between 2D Planar and 3D Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography Imaging for Y-90 Radioembolization in Hepatocellular Carcinoma Patients with Ascites
Paula Gamero Kubota, MD, Robert Wagner, MD, Christopher Molvar, MD, James Halama, PhD and Judy R. James, PhD
Accurate Lung Shunt Fraction (LSF) is essential for safe Yttrium-90 (Y90) radioembolization (TARE) treatment of Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC) in patients with ascites. However, traditional 2D imaging might be inaccurate for LSF calculation in this population.
