ABSTRACT:
A method and an apparatus for treating a part of the body of a patient with radioactive material, in which at least one hollow needle is introduced into the part of the body concerned, said needle being capable of subsequently receiving a tube containing selectively positioned radioactive material, previously arranged therein. Use is made of a cart comprising at least one tube containing selectively positioned radioactive material, an intermediate container for shielding the tube or tubes, and apparatus for transporting the said tube with radioactive material into and out of the shielding means. According to the present invention, each implant needle is connected to the cart by means of a patient transfer tube with a patient connector and a machine connector connected with a plurality of external tubes, from which cart tubes are selectively inserted into the needle or needles already introduced by means of one or more transport threads movable in the patient transfer tubes.
