The Role of Lung Density in the Voxel-Based Dosimetry of <sup>90</sup>Y-TARE Evaluated with the Voxel S-Value (VSV) Method and Fast Monte Carlo Simulation

The Role of Lung Density in the Voxel-Based Dosimetry of <sup>90</sup>Y-TARE Evaluated with the Voxel S-Value (VSV) Method and Fast Monte Carlo Simulation

(1) Background: In <sup>90</sup>Y-TARE treatments, lung-absorbed doses should be calculated according to the manufacturer’s instructions, using the MIRD-scheme. This scheme is derived from the assumption that <sup>90</sup>Y-microspheres deliver the dose in a water-equivalent...
