Description

Hepatotoxicity risk in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is modulated by radiation dose delivered to normal liver tissue, but reported dose-response data are limited. Our prior work established baseline [99mTc]sulfur colloid (SC) single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT)/computed tomography (CT) liver function imaging biomarkers that predict clinical outcomes. We conducted a proof-of-concept investigation with longitudinal SC SPECT/CT to characterize patient-specific radiation dose-response relationships as surrogates for liver radiosensitivity.
