  1. *Calculated based on mean 27.5-μm sphere diameter and an ideal 2500 Bq/sphere specific activity at calibration
  2. Fraction of hemisphere perfused based on cone beam CT with the microcatheter at the treatment position
  3. Embolized cortex (left or right) exclusive of brainstem and cerebellum
