Abstract
⺠A beta emitter bioglass Ho-166 seed has been proposed for treating small HCC tumors. ⺠The MCNP5 code was used to investigate dose distributions around the seed. ⺠The dosimetric parameters recommended by the AAPM Task Group 60 (TG-60) were calculated. ⺠The short range of the beta particles limits damage to the normal tissues.
