Abstract
A review of current and future dosimetry techniques for liver radiomicrosphere therapy using yttrium 90 microspheres is presented. This review covers the nonuniform distribution of microspheres within the liver, applicable imaging techniques, and some widely used dosimetry formulas. A brief review of future patient-specific dosimetry techniques is also presented. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
