Retrospective Voxel-Based Dosimetry for Assessing the Ability of the Body-Surface-Area Model to Predict Delivered Dose and Radioembolization Outcome

Conclusion: In our population, average tumor-absorbed dose and DVH metrics were associated with tumor response. However, the activity calculated by the BSA method could have been increased to reach the recommended tumor dose threshold. Tumor uptake, target and nontarget volumes, and dose distribution heterogeneity should be considered for activity planning.
