<p>A general purpose radiotherapy device (30) fabricated to net or near net shape, and then made radioactive in a single activation step. The device (30) is made at least partially of a transmutable material (42) which is transformable to a radioisotope containing material (42) upon activation by an accelerated beam of charged particles, such as protons, deuteron, or alpha particles. The transmutable material (42) is preferably rhodium, and the radioisotope containing material is preferably palladium-103.</p> |
