A personalized approach to SIRT
1. QuiremScout® is better at predicting lung shunting than the commonly used surrogate Tech-99m-MAA.1
2. QuiremScout® is better at predicting the intrahepatic distribution than the commonly used surrogate Tech-99m-MAA.2
3. QuiremScout® is proven clinically safe in a population of 82 patients.3
4. QuiremScout® enables dual isotope technology.
5. QuiremScout® uses the same particles and method of administration as QuiremSpheres®, optimally simulating the QuiremSpheres® SIRT procedure.
– “In clinical practice, lung absorbed doses are significantly overestimated by pretreatment diagnostic 99mTcMAA imaging. Pretreatment diagnostic 166Ho-microsphere SPECT/CT imaging accurately predicts lung absorbed doses after 166Ho radioembolization.” Elschot et al. Eur J Nucl Med Mol Imaging (2014) 41:1965-1975
– “A holmium-166 scout dose is safe in a clinical setting.; Holmium-166 scout dose is a safe alternative for 99mTc-MAA for radioembolisation work-up.; Holmium-166 scout dose potentially has several benefits over 99mTc-MAA for radioembolisation work-up.” Braat et al. Eur Rad (2017) 28, 3: 920–928
– “Holmium-166 scout dose seemed superior to 99mTc-MAA in predicting the intrahepatic distribution.” Dassen et al. Abstract 1507.4 CIRSE 2018

QuiremScout® in a 73-yo female HCC-patient
QuiremScout® is indicated for patients that are eligible for SIRT treatment of liver tumors.
QuiremScout® is intended for evaluation of lung-shunt, extrahepatic deposition and intrahepatic distribution of intra-arterially injected microspheres.
QuiremScout® is contraindicated for patients that
