CELL CONTAINING RADIOACTIVE MATERIAL AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING THE CELL

摘要

FIELD: medical engineering. ^ SUBSTANCE: device has elongated bioabsorbing carrier containing radioactive sources inside. The sources are separated with spaces. The elongated bioabsorbing carrier is solid composition molded around radiation sources. Moulds are used when producing cells containing radioactive material. A set of radioactive grains is introduced into the mould. Liquid material is introduced into the mould for making it harden. Hardened product is removed from the mould. To treat patients for states manifested as response to radiation therapy, a cell containing radioactive material is arranged in immediate proximity to the patient body zone under treatment for time period required for providing therapeutically effective radiation dose. ^ EFFECT: produced easy-to-use cell having rigid coating stable in operation. ^ 24 cl, 5 dwg
