SIR-Spheres Study to Calculate the Radiation-Absorbed Dose of 99mTc-MAA

Summary

The goal of this interventional clinical trial is to evaluate the dose of radiation of Technetium-99m macroaggregated-albumin (99mTc-MAA) after an intra-arterial injection to the whole body and non-liver critical organs in patients who are undergoing evaluation for SIR-Spheres treatment for hepatocellular carcinoma.
