The Essential Role of Monte Carlo Simulations for Lung Dosimetry in Liver Radioembolization with <sup>90</sup>Y Microspheres

This study compares various methodologies for lung dosimetry in radioembolization using Monte Carlo (MC) simulations. A voxelized anthropomorphic phantom, created from a real patient’s CT scan, preserved the actual density distribution of the lungs. Lung dosimetry was evaluated for five lung-shunt (...
