Resumo
Microspheres loaded with pure beta-emitter radioisotopes are used in the treatment of some types of
liver cancer. The Instituto de Pesquisas EnergeĀ“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.
