Low-dose 90Y PET/CT imaging optimized for lesion detectability and quantitative accuracy: a phantom study to assess the feasibility of pretherapy imaging to plan the therapeutic dose

Conclusion: 90Y PET/CT imaging, even with a low activity concentration, is feasible for depicting the distribution of 90Y implanted microspheres using optimized reconstruction parameters. As such, in-vivo PET/CT imaging of low-dose 90Y in the pretherapeutic stage may be feasible and fruitful to optimally plan the therapeutic activity delivered to patients undergoing radioembolization.
