Device for radiation treatment of proliferative tissue surrounding a cavity in an animal body

摘要

The device has an inflated chamber (3) with wall in cavity. A supportive probe (2) is an elongated body with distal end (2a) connected with inflatable chamber and proximal end (2b) remaining outside cavity. The chamber is inflated and deflated. The solid energy emitting source (8) is moved from shielded compartment through insertion catheter towards the intended treatment position in the cavity (10) using source wires.
