Remote-afterloading brachytherapy systems are specialized assemblies that deliver targeted radiation therapy by temporarily placing radioactive sources directly at or within a treatment site. They are used clinically to treat cancers, such as those in the prostate, cervix, or breast, by precisely delivering a therapeutic or palliative radiation dose while sparing surrounding healthy tissue.
These systems are typically regulated as medical devices that incorporate radioactive sources, requiring specialized handling and safety protocols. They are supplied as integrated assemblies that include components like a shielded vault, guide tubes, applicators, and computerized treatment planning software to ensure precise and controlled source delivery.
