Potential candidates for radioembolization, based on clinical criteria, undergo 99mTc-labeled macroaggregated albumin imaging to determine the extent of hepatopulmonary shunting. Dose selection is based on results from shunt imaging and can exclude patients from radioembolization therapy. We present a case of miscalculated lung shunt fraction and the circumstances that led to the critical error.}, issn = {0091-4916}, URL = {https://tech.snmjournals.org/content/48/2/184}, eprint = {https://tech.snmjournals.org/content/48/2/184.full.pdf}, journal = {Journal of Nuclear Medicine Technology} }
