Development of an MRI-Guided Approach to Selective Internal Radiation Therapy Using Holmium-166 Microspheres

Selective internal radiation therapy (SIRT) is a treatment modality for liver tumours during which radioactive microspheres are injected into the hepatic arterial tree. Holmium-166 (<sup>166</sup>Ho) microspheres used for SIRT can be visualized and quantified with MRI, potentially allowi...

Development of an MRI-Guided Approach to Selective Internal Radiation Therapy Using Holmium-166 Microspheres
description Selective internal radiation therapy (SIRT) is a treatment modality for liver tumours during which radioactive microspheres are injected into the hepatic arterial tree. Holmium-166 (<sup>166</sup>Ho) microspheres used for SIRT can be visualized and quantified with MRI, potentially allowing for MRI guidance during SIRT. The purpose of this study was to investigate the MRI compatibility of two angiography catheters and a microcatheter typically used for SIRT, and to explore the detectability of <sup>166</sup>Ho microspheres in a flow phantom using near real-time MRI.

To assess the near real-time detectability of <sup>166</sup>Ho microspheres, a flow phantom was placed in the MRI bore and perfused using a peristaltic pump, simulating the flow in the hepatic artery. Dynamic MR imaging was performed using a 2D FLASH sequence during injection of different concentrations of <sup>166</sup>Ho microspheres.
