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.185-187openAccessliverneoplasmsbrachytherapymicrospheresholmium 166yttrium 90monte carlo methodmicrodosimetryphantomsradiation effectsArtigo de periódico9510.1016/j.radphyschem.2012.12.050https://orcid.org/0000-0002-2664-5531
