ABSTRACT:
A new device for inserting radioactive seeds in and around tumor volumes is based upon insertion of a planar array of seeds at fixed depth. The device uses a fixed array of hollow needles with a matching array of trochars. The result achieved using this device is the implantation of a planar array of radioactive seeds which does not depend upon the parallel insertion of individual needles.
