Abstract
A partially afterloaded line source system was developed in Edinburgh and put into use in 1960 (Campbell and Douglas, 1966). In this system the [human] intrauterine source was preloaded and only the vaginal component afterloaded. With the availability of small Cs sources a modification was made to allow full but manual afterloading. The treatment regime is similar to that described by Campbell and Douglas. A new flexible intrauterine applicator replaced the straight tube used in the earlier system, and the construction of the complete applicator is shown.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
