PURPOSE: Transarterial radioembolization (TARE) with yttrium-90 (Y) microspheres is a liver-directed treatment for primary and secondary hepatic malignancies. Personalized dosimetry aims for maximum treatment effect and reduced toxicity. We aimed to compare pre-treatment voxel-based dosimetry from Tc macroaggregated albumin (MAA) SPECT/CT with post-treatment Y PET/CT for absorbed dose values, and to evaluate image quality of Y SiPM-based PET/CT. METHODS: Forty-two patients (28 men, 14 women, mean age: 67 ± 11 years) with advanced hepatic malignancies were prospectively enrolled. Twenty patients were treated with glass and 22 with resin microspheres. Radiation absorbed doses from planning Tc-MAA SPECT/CT and post-therapy Y PET/CT were assessed. Y PET/CT images were acquired for 20 min and reconstructed to produce 5-, 10-, 15-, and 20-min datasets, then evaluated using the 5-point Likert scale. RESULTS: The mean administered activity was 3.44 ± 1.5 GBq for glass and 1.62 ± 0.7 GBq for resin microspheres. The mean tumor absorbed doses calculated from Tc-MAA SPECT/CT and Y PET/CT were 175.69 ± 113.76 Gy and 193.58 ± 111.09 Gy (P = 0.61), respectively for glass microspheres; they were 60.18 ± 42.20 Gy and 70.98 ± 49.65 Gy (P = 0.37), respectively for resin microspheres. The mean normal liver absorbed doses from Tc-MAA SPECT/CT and Y PET/CT were 32.70 ± 22.25 Gy and 30.62 ± 20.09 Gy (P = 0.77), respectively for glass microspheres; they were 18.33 ± 11.08 Gy and 24.32 ± 15.58 Gy (P = 0.17), respectively for resin microspheres. Image quality of Y PET/CT at 5-, 10-, 15-, and 20-min scan time showed a Likert score of 3.6 ± 0.54, 4.57 ± 0.58, 4.84 ± 0.37, and 4.9 ± 0.3, respectively. CONCLUSIONS: Tc-MAA SPECT/CT demonstrated great accuracy for treatment planning dosimetry. SiPM-based PET/CT scanner showed good image quality at 10-min scan time, acquired in one bed position. A PET/CT scan time of 5 min showed acceptable image quality and suffices for dosimetry and treatment verification. This allows for inclusion of Y PET/CT in busy routine clinical workflows. Studies with larger patient cohorts are needed to confirm these findings.
目的:钇-90(Y)微球经动脉放射性栓塞(TARE)是一种针对原发性和继发性肝恶性肿瘤的肝脏定向治疗方法。个体化剂量旨在实现最大治疗效果和降低毒性。我们旨在比较 Tc 聚合白蛋白(MAA)单光子发射计算机断层扫描(SPECT)/CT 与 Y 正电子发射断层扫描(PET)/CT 治疗前后的基于体素的剂量值,并评估 Y 基于硅光电倍增管(SiPM)的 PET/CT 的图像质量。 方法:前瞻性纳入 42 例(28 名男性,14 名女性,平均年龄:67 ± 11 岁)晚期肝恶性肿瘤患者。20 例患者接受玻璃微球治疗,22 例患者接受树脂微球治疗。评估计划 Tc-MAA SPECT/CT 和治疗后 Y PET/CT 的辐射吸收剂量。Y PET/CT 图像采集 20 分钟,重建产生 5 分钟、10 分钟、15 分钟和 20 分钟数据集,然后使用 5 分李克特量表进行评估。 结果:玻璃微球的平均给药活度为 3.44 ± 1.5GBq,树脂微球的平均给药活度为 1.62 ± 0.7GBq。Tc-MAA SPECT/CT 和 Y PET/CT 计算的平均肿瘤吸收剂量分别为玻璃微球的 175.69 ± 113.76Gy 和 193.58 ± 111.09Gy(P = 0.61);树脂微球分别为 60.18 ± 42.20Gy 和 70.98 ± 49.65Gy(P = 0.37)。Tc-MAA SPECT/CT 和 Y PET/CT 计算的平均正常肝脏吸收剂量分别为玻璃微球的 32.70 ± 22.25Gy 和 30.62 ± 20.09Gy(P = 0.77);树脂微球分别为 18.33 ± 11.08Gy 和 24.32 ± 15.58Gy(P = 0.17)。5 分钟、10 分钟、15 分钟和 20 分钟扫描时间的 Y PET/CT 图像质量评分分别为 3.6 ± 0.54、4.57 ± 0.58、4.84 ± 0.37 和 4.9 ± 0.3。 结论:Tc-MAA SPECT/CT 为治疗计划剂量学提供了很好的准确性。基于 SiPM 的 PET/CT 扫描仪在 10 分钟扫描时间显示出良好的图像质量,仅需一个床位位置采集。5 分钟的 PET/CT 扫描时间可获得可接受的图像质量,足以进行剂量测定和治疗验证。这使得 Y PET/CT 可以纳入繁忙的常规临床工作流程。需要更大的患者队列研究来证实这些发现。
