Title	Microspheres Deposited to Different Segment of Liver
Event Description	The following is a synopsis of a telephonic report: On 12/6/19, a patient was administered Y-90 microspheres, intended for segment 4 of the liver. On 12/13/19, the post-administration imaging was interpreted and examined. It was determined that, despite taking precautions of blood vessel embolization to limit the microspheres from other segments, some of the microspheres deposited in segment 2 as well as segment 4. The patient was notified. No adverse effects are expected as the microspheres all went to the same lobe of the liver, and within about 95 percent of the prescribed dose. A Medical Event may indicate potential problems in a medical facility's use of radioactive materials. It does not necessarily result in harm to the patient.
