Calculation of tumour and normal tissue biological effective dose in90 Y liver radioembolization with different dosimetric methods

Highlights • Personalized dosimetry in radioembolization with Yttrium-90 is recommended. • Three different dosimetric methods were employed for90 Y personal dosimetry. • A comparison in term of biological effective dose was made. • MIRD and voxel-based methods are more confident each other.
