A flexible source wire (10, 30) for radiation treatment of diseases within a body comprises: a flexible, hollow, elongated housing tube (12, 32) having a distal end (11, 21, 31) and a proximal end (13, 23, 33), said housing tube (12, 32) constructed from a material exhibiting little or no memory retention when bent; a flexible backbone wire (14, 18, 34) having a proximal end (24, 42), said proximal end (24, 42) of said wire being disposed in said housing tube (12, 32), and further wherein the proximal end (24, 42) of said backbone wire (14, 18, 34) is rounded; and a radiation source or sources (16, 36) provided within said housing tube (12, 32), said proximal end (24, 42) of said flexible backbone wire (14, 18, 34) being adjacent to said radiation source or sources (16, 36). <IMAGE> |
