MS microsphere, MAA macroaggregated albumin, SD standard deviation, DT mean dose to the tumor, D20 minimum dose to 20% of the tumor volume, D50 minimum dose to 50% of the tumor volume, D70 minimum dose to 70% of the tumor volume, V205 percentage of the volume receiving more than 205 Gy, DNL mean dose to the normal liver. Bias and correlation are with respect to 90Y-MS PET
