Abstract

Radioembolization is the selective application of radionuclide-loaded microspheres into liver arteries for the therapy of liver tumours and metastases. In this review, we focused on therapy planning and dosimetry, as well as the main indications of 90Y-glass and resin microspheres and 166Ho-microspheres.
