Microspheres in Motion: Investigating the parameters that influence radioembolization
This thesis investigates which parameters influence the distribution of holmium microspheres during transarterial radioembolization (TARE), a treatment for liver tumors. Experiments using 3D-printed models and porcine livers show that catheter...

Transarterial radioembolization: a systematic review on gaining control over the parameters that influence microsphere distribution
T.J. Snoeijink, T.G. Vlogman, J. Roosen, E. Groot Jebbink, K. Jain, J.F.W. Nijsen Purpose Transarterial radioembolization (TARE) is an established treatment modality for patients with unresectable liver cancer. However, a better understanding of...

MRI-guidance during transarterial radioembolization: towards a personalized treatment approach
Transarterial radioembolization (TARE), also called selective internal radiation therapy (SIRT), is a treatment modality for liver tumours during which radioactive microspheres are injected into (subbranches of) the hepatic artery through a catheter....

Image guided holmium radioembolization
while the patient is in an MRI suite. The feasibility of performing TARE in an MRI suite has been published recently (Roosen et al. 2022). Image-guided TARE enables alteration of the administered dose and the catheter positions during the procedure,...
