Background and Aim: Liver directed therapy utilizing yttrium-90 microspheres represents a recently introduced in situ multidisciplinary cancer therapy that has caught the attention of many physicians faced with the challenges of treating these complex patients. Radioactive particle in capillary liver system were assessed through the in vivo test and the leakage to lung or other organ was defined. The concentration of Y-90 in liver tumor without leakage to the other organ was seen which has the important role in radioactive drug successes by radioimbolization method.
Method: Four different phases of Y 90 injection were performed in rabbits; 1. Preparation of Y-90 glasses microspheres, 2. Preservation, preparation and tumorization of the animal lab before and after drug injection, 3. Animal Angiography and injection of radioactive drug in animal liver, 4. Radionucleotide imaging..
