摘要: This paper reviews the preparation and application of radioactive microspheres for medical purposes. It first discusses properties relevant radioisotopes then explores diagnostic uses gamma-emitter labelled microspheres, such as blood flow measurement imaging liver other organs. The therapeutic alpha- beta-emitting radioembolization, local tumour therapy radiosynovectomy, are described, recent developments in neutron capture using gadolinium boron liposomes discussed. review concludes with some considerations radiopharmaceutical kit preparations radioisotope generator use, well radiobiological dosimetric concerns.
