Figure 1From: Increased absorbed liver dose in Selective Internal Radiation Therapy (SIRT) correlates with increased sphere-cluster frequency and absorbed dose inhomogeneity Absorbed dose distribution observed in normal liver parenchyma. The mean activity in the 41 punch biopsies (29 to 88 mg) at the time of treatment was 950 Bq/mg, resulting in a mean absorbed dose of 47 ± 34 Gy; CV 0.73 and a median absorbed dose of 38 Gy assuming local energy deposition (range 8-182 Gy). The 10th, 25th, 75th, and 90th percentiles were found at 17, 24, 59, and 88 Gy.Back to article page
