摘要:
The invention relates to an apparatus for effecting radiation treatment on a pre-selected anatomical portion of an animal body comprising: a group of n hollow treatment channels being inserted at one or more pre-planned positions in said pre-selected anatomical portion; a group of m delivery channels to be connected to a corresponding number m from said group of n hollow treatment channels with m being 2 or more and n being 1 or more; identifying means for identifying which one of said m delivery channels is being connected with which one of said n hollow treatment channels, said identifying means comprising a tracking element accommodated in a tracking channel, said tracking element being intended to be displaced from said tracking channel through each of said interconnected m delivery channels and m treatment channels; storage means for storing k energy emitting sources in a corresponding source-channel, with k≦m; delivery means for temporarily inserting said k energy emitting sources from their source-channels through a corresponding one of said interconnected m delivery channels and m treatment channels towards one of said pre-planned positions in said anatomical portion; coupling means for coupling at least one of said m delivery channels with a corresponding treatment channel.
