Notes: aTheraSphere dosimetry was calculated based upon a desired radiation treatment dose for a targeted portion of the liver. bDosimetry was calculated based on the treated liver volume, the administered activity, and the lung shunt fraction. cDosimetry was based on tumor volumetry and then adjusted by the pulmonary shunt fraction. dMean follow-up.
