Radiotherapy Internal radiation
{"Image DocumentName": "Radiotherapy Internal radiation", "Image ImageDescription": "Introduction of radiation source into the body. Patients emit radiation and do pose a threat to others until the source is removed or excreted. Sealed-source radiation. Radiation inserted into body in a sealed container. Unsealed-source radiation. What are some sources of internal radiation therapy? When sealed-source radiation is used the patient\u2019s body fluids are not radioactive. One example of sealed-source radiation is cesium, which is contained in a sealed applicator that is inserted into body cavities to treat cancer of the mouth, tongue, vagina, and cervix. Sealed-source radiation also may be placed in threads, beads, needles, or seeds and implanted into body tissues, or enclosed in a mold and applied externally. When unsealed sources are used, there are some additional considerations because body fluids may be contaminated. 21.", "Image XResolution": "37", "Image YResolution": "37", "Image ResolutionUnit": "Pixels/Centimeter", "Image Software": "SlidePlayer", "Image YCbCrPositioning": "Centered"}
