AbstractAbstract
[en] Cancer treatment with holmium-166 (166Ho) has clear advantages over other radionuclides for therapeutic purposes, because holmium is the only element which can a) be neutron-activated to a beta- and gamma-emitter with a logistically favorable half-life and b) be visualized by MRI. Since the chemical properties of the other lanthanides and a few other elements are similar to those of holmium, the knowledge gained using holmium-loaded carrier particles can probably applied to specific treatment/diagnostic needs
