Abstract
Transarterial radioembolization consist in delivering small particles loaded with Yttrium90, a pure beta emitter, in order to treat primary and secondary liver tumors. This treatment needs precaution since inadequate delivery of these beads can lead to severe complications. Moreover, a precise radiation dosing is crucial to achieve a good clinical success and to avoid complications such as radioembolization-induced liver disease. This review describes all the precautions and highlights clinical and technical considerations that need to be taken to avoid complications.
