Lung shunting and radiation pneumonitis after holmium-166 TARE: a case study

Abstract Purpose The assessment of the lung shunting fraction (LSF) in yttrium-90 (90Y) or holmium-166 (166Ho) transarterial radioembolization (TARE) is customary in order to reduce the risk of radiation pneumonitis (RP). Lung shunting detected through a test dose is considered a relative contraindi...
