Artigo IPEN-doc 20029 Monte Carlo simulation of liver cancer treatment with sup(166)Ho-loaded glass microspheres2014 - GUIMARAES, CARLA da C.; MORALLES, MAURICIO; MARTINELLI, JOSE R.Microspheres loaded with pure beta-emitter radioisotopes are used in the treatment of some types of liver cancer. The Instituto de Pesquisas Energe´ticas e Nucleares (IPEN) is developing 166Ho-loaded glass microspheres as an alternative to the commercially available 90Y microspheres. This work describes the implementation of a Monte Carlo code to simulate both the irradiation effects and the imaging of 166Ho and 90Y sources localized in different parts of the liver. Results obtained with the code and perspectives for the future are discussed.Artigo IPEN-doc 11192 Response of thermoluminescent dosimeters to photons simulated with the Monte Carlo method2005 - MORALLES, M.; GUIMARAES, C.C.; OKUNO, E.
