Spatial distribution of fractionally administered holmium microspheres in non-tumorous human liver tissue: how livers survive transarterial radioembolisation by Anne van den Brekel, Tess J. Snoeijink, Vincent E. de Meijer, Milou Boswinkel, Koert P. de Jong, Joey Roosen, Alexandra G. Arranja, Jurgen J. Fütterer, Simeon J. S. Ruiter, J. Frank W. Nijsen

“…Abstract Background Relatively high mean absorbed doses to the non-tumorous liver tissue (NTLT) are generally well tolerated in transarterial radioembolisation (TARE), potentially due to a heterogeneous dose distribution. This study investigates the macroscopic and microscopic distribution of fractionally administered TARE holmium microspheres in NTLT using an experimental setup of ex vivo perfused human donor livers under magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and validates these findings through a comparison with MRI data from TARE-treated patients. …”
