title: Palladium-109 and holmium-166 potential radionuclides for synoviotherapy--radiation absorbed dose calculations.
abstract: Palladium-109 and holmium-166 are radionuclides with nuclear, physical and chemical characteristics appropriate for therapeutic purposes. Radiation absorbed doses are calculated and compared with currently used radionuclides in synoviotherapy.
