DEVICE FOR STORING A PHOTON SOURCE AND FOR IRRADIATION OF A BODY BY RADIATION OF THE SOURCE

摘要

P The invention relates to a device for storing a photon source and for irradiating a body with radiation from said source. /P P This device comprises a biological protection body having a cylindrical cavity and two passages opening into the cavity and on the external wall of the body, a biological protection disc in the body cavity, having a housing opening onto the side wall of the disc and a sinuous passage opening into two areas of the side wall of the disc capable of being simultaneously opposite said passages of the body, a source of gamma radiation in the disc housing, at least one fiber optic arranged in the passage of the disc, a collimator arranged in line with one of the passages of the body, an optical device in line with the other passage of the body and means for rotating the disc between a first position for which the source is opposite the collimator and a second position for which the two ends of the fiber are respectively opposite the optical device and the collimator. /P P Application to the irradiation of a body. /P
