(ACCME) to provide continuing medical education for physicians.
SNMMI designates this enduring material for a maximum of 2.0 AMA PRA Category 1 CreditsTM. Physicians should claim only credit commensurate with the extent of their participation in the activity.
Objectives
Upon successful completion of this activity, participants should be able to describe:
1. The rationale and the aims of conjoint endovascular mapping and
99mTc-macroaggregated albumin (99mTc-MAA) hepatic perfusion imaging
before liver radioembolization.
2. How to integrate the information
gathered during the angiographic procedure with the SPECT/CT hepatic
perfusion study to generate an interpretation relevant to clinical
management.
3. Various sites of 99mTc-MAA activity outside the
liver parenchyma and their potential origin in order to avoid
nontargeted radioembolization.
4. Pitfalls in 99mTc-MAA hepatic perfusion imaging and how to avoid them.
Target Audience
Journal SAMs are designed for all nuclear medicine specialists and other physicians, pharmacists and technologists who practice diagnostic and/or therapeutic nuclear medicine.
