Abstract

Background and aim: 99mTc-MAA SPECT/CT imaging is performed after radioembolization to re-evaluate the resin microsphere distribution and estimate the absorbed radiation dose of target tumor. However, role of 99mTc-MAA SPECT/CT simulation was not well established until now. The purpose of our study is to validate the utility of SPECT/CT compared to planar simulation in dosimetry. Material and method: Fifty - two consecutive HCC patients, intermediate and advanced stage who underwent 90Y resin microsphere transarterial embolization (TARE) were recruited in the study. Image characteristic and parameters: lung shunt fraction (LSF), tumor to-normal liver uptake ratio (TNr) and absorbed dose for target tumors were estimated on 99mTc-MAA SPECT/CT and planar. Results: The imaging characteristics including heterogeneity, necrosis and thrombosis uptake were better delineated on SPECT/CT imaging than planar. The agreement and correlation of TNr on SPECT/CT and planar were average (p<0,05. Dtumor on planar is lower than that on SPECT/CT with significant difference (P<0,05). Conclusions: 99mTc-MAA SPECT/CT is superior to planar in simulation before treatment 90Y resin microsphere in tumor delineantion and dosimetry.
