Influencing factors of lung shunt fraction in transarterial radioembolization treatment

ConclusionLSFSPECT/CT with attenuation correction can provide more accurate results compared to LSFplanar before TARE treatment. In patients who had liver lesions located adjacent to lung, the possible miscalculation of LSFSPECT/CT from scattering and spillover effect could be eliminated by exclusion of 3 cm diameter from inferior border of the right lung.
