From: Increased absorbed liver dose in Selective Internal Radiation Therapy (SIRT) correlates with increased sphere-cluster frequency and absorbed dose inhomogeneity

Figure 3

Light microscopy of sphere clusters in different-sized arteries. The images show (A) a mid-sized sphere cluster (13 of the 35 spheres in this section) within a small artery and (B) a larger artery with a massive cluster (44 of the 306 spheres in this section). Larger bulky clusters were gathered in small arteries. The three largest clusters (174, 306, and 453 spheres per cluster) were found in smaller arteries within the three biopsies with the highest mean absorbed dose, i.e., 59, 61, and 84 Gy.
