Résumé

PET imaging after yttrium-90 (Y-90) radioembolization is challenging because of the low positron fraction of Y-90 (32 × 10 Two phantoms (NEMA IEC and AbdoMan phantoms, mimicking human liver) filled with Y-90 and a 4:1 sphere (tumor)-to-background ratio were scanned for 24 h with the Biograph Vision Quadra (Siemens Healthineers). Eight patients were scanned after Y-90 radioembolization (1.3-4.7 GBq) using the optimized protocol (obtained by phantom studies). The IQ, contrast recovery coefficients (CRCs) and noise were evaluated for their limited and full acceptance angles, different rebinned scan durations, numbers of iterations and post-reconstruction filters. The s-value-based absorbed doses were calculated to assess their suitability for dosimetry. The phantom studies demonstrate that two iterations, five subsets and a 4 mm Gaussian filter provide a reasonable compromise between a high CRC and low noise. For a 20 min scan duration, an adequate CRC of 56% (vs. 24 h: 62%, 20 mm sphere) was obtained, and the noise was reduced by a factor of 1.4, from 40% to 29%, using the full acceptance angle. The patient scan results were consistent with those from the phantom studies, and the impacts on the absorbed doses were negligible for all of the studied parameter sets, as the maximum percentage difference was -3.89%. With 2i5s, a 4 mm filter and a scan duration of 20 min, IQ and quantification accuracy that are suitable for post-treatment dosimetry of Y-90 radioembolization can be achieved.

BACKGROUND BACKGROUND
PET imaging after yttrium-90 (Y-90) radioembolization is challenging because of the low positron fraction of Y-90 (32 × 10
METHODS METHODS
Two phantoms (NEMA IEC and AbdoMan phantoms, mimicking human liver) filled with Y-90 and a 4:1 sphere (tumor)-to-background ratio were scanned for 24 h with the Biograph Vision Quadra (Siemens Healthineers). Eight patients were scanned after Y-90 radioembolization (1.3-4.7 GBq) using the optimized protocol (obtained by phantom studies). The IQ, contrast recovery coefficients (CRCs) and noise were evaluated for their limited and full acceptance angles, different rebinned scan durations, numbers of iterations and post-reconstruction filters. The s-value-based absorbed doses were calculated to assess their suitability for dosimetry.
RESULTS RESULTS
The phantom studies demonstrate that two iterations, five subsets and a 4 mm Gaussian filter provide a reasonable compromise between a high CRC and low noise. For a 20 min scan duration, an adequate CRC of 56% (vs. 24 h: 62%, 20 mm sphere) was obtained, and the noise was reduced by a factor of 1.4, from 40% to 29%, using the full acceptance angle. The patient scan results were consistent with those from the phantom studies, and the impacts on the absorbed doses were negligible for all of the studied parameter sets, as the maximum percentage difference was -3.89%.
CONCLUSIONS CONCLUSIONS
With 2i5s, a 4 mm filter and a scan duration of 20 min, IQ and quantification accuracy that are suitable for post-treatment dosimetry of Y-90 radioembolization can be achieved.
