Skovorodko, Kirill ; Kurminas, Marius ; Andriulevičiūtė, Inga ; Komiagienė, Renata and Bernhardsson, Christian LU orcid (2023) p.32-36
Abstract
Radioembolization with 166Ho microspheres is a minimally invasive procedure in which radioactive microspheres are administered directly to liver tumor via the hepatic artery during an interventional radiological procedure. Scout and therapeutic doses of 166Ho were delivered to patients in 2022 and 2023 at Vilnius
University Hospital Santaros Klinikos. The presented study was aimed at investigating occupational exposure levels and other radiation protection and safety aspects when working with 166Ho.
