Abstract
Radioembolization represents an effective tool for the treatment of primary and secondary liver tumors. Adequate use of this therapy requires knowledge and a multidisciplinary effort in order to obtain optimal results and avoid therapy-specific complica- tions. A great deal of research has been undertaken in order to understand the angiographie, technical and safety aspects concerning liver radioembolization.
