Woman, 55-year-old, pretreatment enhanced CT showed HCCA in the transverse (A) and coronal positions (A) (arrow); posttreatment CT showed that ISS was distributed along the biliary obstruction (C); γ-ray covered HCCA on SPECT with a high local dose and an extremely low dose to the normal surrounding tissues (D); posttreatment enhanced CT showed that HCCA disappeared in the transverse (E) and coronal positions (F) (arrow), and ISS could be successfully pulled out without biliary stenting. After RISB, the patient completed 4 courses of GP chemotherapy, and the local tumor was evaluated as a complete response after 1 year on enhanced CT (G, H)
