Arterial administration of 90Y microspheres is used for salvage therapy in patients with primary or metastasized tumors within the liver. The clinical use of high-yield beta emitters presents unique calibration, dosage measurement, and exposure monitoring tasks. This report illustrates the following issues: determination of container and volume-specific correction factors in a standard dose calibrator for various receipt and dispensing vial geometries using a U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology-traceable 90Y standard solution; documentation of delivery and localization of the radionuclide; statistically-verified ion chamber measurements of residual (non infused) radioactivity; and measurement of occupational radiation exposures. |
