METHOD FOR PREPARING PARTICLES OF RADIOACTIVE POWDER CONTAINING CESIUM-131 FOR USE IN BRACHYTHERAPY SOURCES

摘要

The present invention provides a method of preparing Cesium-131 (Cs 131) as a dispersed radioisotope. Uses of the dispersed Cs 131 prepared by the method include cancer research and treatment, such as for the use in brachytherapy. Cs 131 is particularly useful in the treatment of faster growing tumors.
