A Prospective Study of Quantitative SPECT/CT for Evaluation of Lung Shunt Fraction Before SIRT of Liver Tumors

Conclusion: Quantitative SPECT/CT reveals that the LSF is considerably lower than shown on planar imaging. Thus, the resulting dose to the lung parenchyma may be less than conventionally assumed. However, the safety of the SPECT/CT-derived dose range will have to be evaluated.
