  1. Relative specific activities (RSA; healthy liver is set to 1) and percentage of total activity (mean ± SD) in the liver-SIRT phantom for the different regions: necrotic tumor (core and shell), isolated tumor, and healthy liver regions (1: VOI sample far from the tumors; 2, 3, 4: cylinders; total healthy liver: the whole region beside the tumors). RD, relative deviation; NA, not applicable.
