[ RadSafe ] Re: Permanent radioactive implants

[Chris Alston]

You're welcome, I'm sure.  I should have mentioned, though, to save bandwidth, that, if you were interested in diagrams of the seeds that are currently approved in the USA, you could visit the internet site of the Radiological Physics Center at M D Anderson Cancer Center (rpc.mdanderson.org/rpc).  Look under "Brachy Seeds" (I think).

Cheers

Thank you, Chris for this reply! Within five lines you were able to answer
all questions I had! Obviously the manufacturers have worked very close
together with surgeons, which is indicated by the lead marker. Titanium is
the metal of choice for hip-replacement, teeth implants etc.
