Yttrium-90 (90Y) is one of the most widely used radionuclides in Nuclear Medicine practice. However, characteristic energy of this beta emitter constitutes a difficulty for dose planning using SPECT imaging. This work aimed to study bremsstrahlung X-rays effects produced by 90Y beta particles during SPECT image acquisition using Monte Carlo code MCNPX. Several simulations were carried out to evaluate different aspects that could affect SPECT image quality, such as collimator type, source-collimator distance and composition of each interact
