Abstract
The experience gained through the practice of radioembolization (SIRT) results in improvement of clinical outcomes. Improved outcomes are a prerequisite for the clinicians to reffer patients for SIRT. In recent years there are some critical changes in the concept and practice of SIRT that also contribute to the improvement of clinical outcomes, beyond the experience of the center performing SIRT. Two of them are dosimetry and a trend toward more focused therapies in the form of radiation lobectomy or segmentectomy.
期刊介绍:
The Hellenic Journal of Nuclear Medicine published by the Hellenic Society of
Nuclear Medicine in Thessaloniki, aims to contribute to research, to education and
cover the scientific and professional interests of physicians, in the field of nuclear
medicine and in medicine in general. The journal may publish papers of nuclear
medicine and also papers that refer to related subjects as dosimetry, computer science,
targeting of gene expression, radioimmunoassay, radiation protection, biology, cell
trafficking, related historical brief reviews and other related subjects. Original papers
are preferred. The journal may after special agreement publish supplements covering
important subjects, dully reviewed and subscripted separately.
