Spatial density and tumor dosimetry are important in radiation segmentectomy with ⁹⁰Y glass microspheres 10.1007/s00259-019-04588-x. 31741021 10 Chiesa C, Sjogreen-Gleisner K, Walrand S, Strigari L. EANM dosimetry committee series on standard operational procedures: a unified methodology for (99m)Tc-MAA pre- and (90)Y peri-therapy dosimetry in liver radioembolization with (90)Y microspheres. The second important missing factor in the Mayo clinic paper is the evaluation of the tumor absorbed dose (two-compartment dosimetry). This article is part of the Topical Collection on Oncology - Digestive tract An important study for clinical practice The aim of the retrospective two-arms study by the Mayo Clinic group under focus here [[1]] is the optimization of segmentectomy, which means treating a maximum of two liver segments with radioactive microspheres.
