Photographs show an example of a Y-90 resin microsphere transarterial radioembolization (TARE) procedure using the generation 2 system. (A) Manual portioning by radiopharmacists of therapeutic radioactivity on a laminar flow bench meeting International Organization for Standardization class 5 cleanroom standards and equipped with lead shielding. (B) Single components of the application box. (C) Assembling by the medical physics expert of application box components and vials according to respective manuals. (D) Application box in angiography intervention room with application lines connected to the microcatheter while the nuclear medicine physician administers the microspheres. (E) Storage of empty vials and waste in an acrylic glass bin by the nuclear medicine physician. (F) Measurement of dose rates on the patient’s liver surface immediately after TARE.
