Remote radioactive seed-loading device for permanent brachytherapy of oral cancer with Au-198 grains
Abstract This paper presents a remote radioactive seed-loading device for permanent brachytherapy of oral cancer with Au-198 grains to reduce the exposure dose to the doctors. Permanent brachytherapy is a treatment which involve implanting of radioactive Au-198 grains, and requires neither long-term...
