Optimization of Y-90 Radioembolization Imaging for Post-Treatment Dosimetry on a Long Axial Field-of-View PET/CT Scanner

Background: PET imaging after yttrium-90 (Y-90) radioembolization is challenging because of the low positron fraction of Y-90 (32 × 10<sup>−6</sup>). The resulting low number of events can be compensated by the high sensitivity of long axial field-of-view (LAFOV) PET/CT scanners. Neverth...
