Abstract:
A technique for fabrication of a flexible shielded afterloaded silicone nasal radiation carrier is described. The technique uses a rubber base impression of the nasal cavity from which a silicone radiation carrier is made. Plastic tubes for afterloading of the radioactive sources and a lead shield were incorporated into the carrier. The carrier permitted accurate location of the radioactive sources in the nasal cavity and reduced the radiation exposure.
