<p>A radiation applicator system is structured to be mounted to a radiation source for providing a predefined dose of radiation for treating a localized area or volume, such as the tissue surrounding the site of an excised tumor. The applicator system includes an applicator (12), a shank (38) and an applicator head (30). The applicator can also include a low energy radiation filter located inside the applicator head (30), to reduce undesirable low energy emissions. A biocompatible radiation shield may be coupled to the applicator head in order to shield vital organs from undesired radiation.</p> |
