A PET scanner uses pre-implanted radiation emitted from a patient to develop three Unlike Advanced Medical Isotope's radiogel, a type of brachytherapy , Theragenics uses a different approach in which a solid pellet, called a seed, is implanted into the area of the body requiring treatment. Things have come a long way in the 100 years since these first experiments: we now have much more "user-friendly" isotopes, imaging techniques to guide treatment with precision, and computer programs to plan the exact location, dosage and length of radiation treatment. France was also where Marie and Pierre Curie discovered the radioactive isotope Radium, and where the first clinical applications of Radium to treat cancer occurred. Applications within 2 weeks of finishing external radiation. Patients were treated with the conventional 4-field box technique. Elaborate a comprehensive review from principle and techniques of Iodine-125 production at nuclear reactor plant to their clinical practive in prostate cancer treatment. Positron emission tomography (PET) has rapidly become a preferred imaging technique. The planned total dose to point A was 85 Gy. Original post: Brachytherapy: Applications and Techniques (Repost). In the standard treated patients, EBRT-CT was followed by one or two intracavitary Cesium (low-dose rate) applications within 2 weeks of finishing external radiation to reach a point A dose of at least 85 Gy. In this non-randomized comparison EBRT-CT protocol was the same in both groups of 40 patients. In the last section, Novel Strategy and Applications, Ruge et al present a very interesting review with their clinical practices of Stereotactic Brachytherapy for Brain Tumors using Iodine-125 seed.
