Core Tip	Three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy, which is designed to preserve functional liver, can be visualized by single photon emission computed tomography with Tc-99m-galactosyl human serum albumin (GSA). This treatment modality has promising therapeutic effects for hepatocellular carcinomas (HCCs) of > 14 cm in diameter that are unmanageable by proton beam therapy. A treatment plan designed to irradiate ≤ 20% of the functional liver volume (FLV20Gy ≤ 20%) did not cause radiation-induced liver disease. Therefore, FLV20Gy ≤ 20% may be a useful safety marker for three-dimensional radiotherapy of HCC of various sizes. It is also possible to estimate the effects of radiotherapy on the liver by dividing the GSA count in the region of the liver irradiated with ≥ 20 Gy by the GSA count of the entire liver.
