 USED FOR DIAGNOSIS AND TREATMENT

Diagnosis - Holmium-166 releases gamma radiation as it decays, this allows medical professionals to use this isotope for imaging purposes such as an MRI or CT scan.

Treatment - Holmium-166 releases beta decay which can be used in therapeutic cancer treatment, for example used as *internal radiotherapy. (other methods displayed above)

*Internal Radiotherapy: When a sealed radiation source is placed next to the area needing treatment- it then decays and begins to minimize  malignancies.

Advantages:
- Used to diagnose malignancies
- Used in [liver cancer] Chemotherapy to target tumors
- Short half life means the dose will be administered faster than other radioisotopes

Disadvantages:
- Short half life means Holmium may be harder to contain or work with
- Holmium-166 is newer than some other radioisotopes, due to this there may be adjustments continuously made to dosage, treatment, and cost
