Development of a Customizable Hepatic Arterial Tree and Particle Transport Model for Use in Treatment Planning

Optimal treatment planning for radioembolization of hepatic cancers produces sufficient dose to tumors for control and dose to normal liver parenchyma that is below the threshold for toxicity. The nonuniform distribution of particles in liver microanatomy complicates the planning process as different functional regions receive different doses. Having realistic and patient-specific models of the ar...
