CT as a Noninvasive Alternative for Lung Shunt Fraction Estimation


Listen Later

This episode discusses a study from Radiology Advances evaluating contrast-enhanced CT as a non-invasive alternative for lung shunt fraction (LSF) estimation in hepatic radioembolization to the current standard, 99mTc-MAA nuclear medicine imaging. The proposed CT-based method showed strong correlation with standard MAA-based LSF, offering a faster, safer, and potentially more accurate planning approach without compromising clinical decision-making.
