What It Is

Mim Y90 Dosimetry is a software application designed to assist clinicians in planning and evaluating Yttrium-90 radioembolization treatments. It calculates radiation doses to tumors and surrounding tissues, aiding in treatment optimization.

FDA-Cleared Indications

  • For dosimetric planning and evaluation of Y-90 radioembolization procedures.
  • For calculating and displaying estimated radiation dose distributions in target and surrounding tissues based on imported imaging and treatment data.

Clinical Applications

  • Treatment planning for Y-90 radioembolization of liver tumors.
  • Estimating radiation dose to hepatic tumors before or during treatment planning.
  • Assessing estimated dose to non-target liver and other tissues after Y-90 administration.
  • Reviewing post-treatment imaging and dosimetry to support evaluation of Y-90 radioembolization.

Reported off-label uses

  • Research and clinical dose-response analysis for liver-directed radiation therapy.
  • Retrospective comparison of planned and delivered Y-90 dose distributions in clinical studies.

Off-label use: these uses are reported in practice or the literature but are not part of the FDA-cleared indications. Physicians may use a cleared device off-label based on their medical judgment; the manufacturer may not promote off-label uses.

Evidence Summary

The available literature includes 12 studies, comprising RCTs, prospective, retrospective, and other study types, conducted between 2022 and 2025. These studies explore dosimetry, treatment response, and safety in Y90 radioembolization.

Reported Outcomes

Published studies report that Mim Y90 Dosimetry aids in predicting treatment response and survival in hepatic cancer patients. It has been shown to correlate dosimetric parameters with tumor response and overall survival, particularly in chemo-refractory metastatic breast cancer and hepatocellular carcinoma.

Safety Profile

Reported complications include treatment-related adverse events associated with non-tumoral liver dose in Y90 radioembolization. Studies highlight the importance of accurate dosimetry to minimize toxicity and improve safety profiles.

Evidence Limitations

Current evidence is limited by variability in dosimetric techniques and the need for standardized protocols. Further research is needed to refine dose thresholds and validate dosimetric models across different clinical settings.

Practical Considerations

  • This is software, not an implantable device or radioactive product; it requires compatible imaging, activity, and treatment data for analysis.
  • Results depend on the quality, registration, and completeness of imported CT, MRI, SPECT/CT, PET/CT, or other supported datasets.
  • Dosimetry estimates should be interpreted by appropriately trained clinicians and do not replace review of vascular anatomy, lung shunting, liver function, or other radioembolization safety factors.
  • The software itself is not a source of ionizing radiation and does not have an MRI safety designation like an implanted device; MRI safety depends on the scanner, accessories, and any other equipment used.
  • It is used as part of a broader Y-90 workflow that may include angiography, technetium-99m macroaggregated albumin mapping, selective catheterization, and post-treatment imaging.
