Radiation safety aspects of 90Y bremsstrahlung radiation produced from radiation shielding apparatus using the Monte Carlo simulation [PDF]
Selective internal radiation therapy using an 90Y labelled microsphere is increasingly used to treat hepatocellular carcinoma. Based on its properties, 90Y can produce bremsstrahlung radiation which is essential for post-treatment localisation ...

Selective internal radiation therapy for liver tumours [PDF]
Primary and secondary liver malignancies are common and associated with a poor prognosis. Surgical resection is the treatment of choice; however, many patients have unresectable disease. In these cases, several liver directed therapies are available, including selective internal radiation therapy (SIRT).
