The application of an interstitial implantation brachytherapy technique that uses 3D treatment plan system (PLATO BPS 14.2) was evaluated for the treatment of stage T2b NPC patients. Brachytherapy: applications and techniques - Google Books . 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.

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. Brachytherapy uses implanted radioactive seeds to selectively expose a tumour mass to large radiation doses while minimizing systemic toxicity. 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. Positron emission tomography (PET) has rapidly become a preferred imaging technique. High-Dose-Rate Interstitial Brachytherapy as Monotherapy in One.
