Introduction: Using beta emitter radionuclide is a useful therapeutic modality in the treatment of skin cancers in areas which are difficult to cure by other methods. The aim of this research is to evaluate the tissue response to beta rays of 166Ho and determine the feasibility of beta emitting radionuclide for treatment of skin cancers. Methods: In this...

intoduction: therapeutic radiopharmaceuticals are radiolabeled molecules to deliver sufficient doses of ionizing radiation to specific disease sites such as bone metastases, brain and liver tumors and bone marrows malignancies including multiple myeloma. among some therapeutic radiopharmaceuticals, 166ho-1,4,7,10 -tetraazacyclo dodecane-1,4,7,10 tetraethylene phosphonic acid (166ho-dotmp) is us...

Introduction: Diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) is a powerful tool for the evaluation of radiation therapy since the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) provides information about tumor viability [1]. Problems may arise, however, when DWI is used in the presence of paramagnetic particles, e.g., to evaluate the effect of internal radiation therapy of liver tumors using Holmium-166 loaded microsp...

Comprehensive studies show that the holmium laser is ideal for treating BPH. Holmium laser treatments have been the most rigorously investigated BPH techniques. Over 90 articles have been published from 8 randomized clinical trials and over 30 case studies and comparative series. The American, European, British and Australasian urology associations recommend holmium laser for BPH treatment. Hol...
