LOINC description : This procedure is done prior to therapeutic liver radioembolization with Y-90, in
order to assess the degree of arteriovenous shunting between the tumor and the lungs.
Y-90 is associated with a risk of radiation pneumonitis while Tc-99m MAA is not, so
the latter can be used to evaluate if shunting is present prior to Y-90 injection.[PMID:
