In analogy with iodine-labeled albumin, absorbed dose calculations are based on the elimination of radioactivity from blood by three half-times, namely 6.8 h (0.40), 1.29 days (0.22), and 19.4 days (0.38, Takeda and Reeve 1963). Uniform distribution of 99mTc-HSA outside the blood pool and rapid renal excretion of the released radionuclide is assumed (International Commission on Radiological Protection 1987).

Taking these potential risks into account, it is mandatory to simulate SIR-Spheres distribution prior to the therapy. This can be accomplished with 99mTc-iabeled macroaggregated albumin (MAA) injected into the hepatic artery similar to the application during microsphere treatment. MAA is typically injected selectively into the right and left liver arteries with a right-to-left ratio corresponding to...
