摘要：

Selective internal radiation therapy using 90Y spheres is a treatment option for patients with primary or secondary liver cancer. To avoid complications, screening using 99mTc macroaggregated albumin is performed to identify lung shunting and extrahepatic depositions. For the latter, deposition after the anterior abdominal wall is frequently attributed to a patent falciform artery, although the vessel itself is rarely visible on SPECT/CT scans. We demonstrate that retrospective SPECT/MRI fusion clearly attributes the nuclide accumulation to a patent falciform artery. During selective internal radiation therapy, ice packs were placed on the anterior abdominal wall, resulting in a complication-free treatment. © 2018 Wolters Kluwer Health, Inc. All rights reserved.
