Beta Applicator

Beta applicators are devices used in radiotherapy to treat various diseases. They are used to deliver high-energy radiation into a patient's tissue to destroy cancer cells or other abnormal tissue.

Beta applicators can be of various types, including linear, conformal and parabolic. Each type has its own advantages and disadvantages, and the choice of type depends on the specific needs of the patient and the type of disease.

Linear beta applicators use continuous radiation to irradiate a large area of ​​tissue. Conformal beta applicators allow radiation to be more precisely focused on pathological tissue, which reduces radiation exposure to healthy tissue and reduces the risk of side effects. Parabolic beta applicators are used to treat brain tumors and other hard-to-reach areas.

The use of beta applicators in radiotherapy has several advantages. They provide more precise and effective treatment, which reduces radiation doses and reduces the risk of side effects for the patient. In addition, beta applicators can be used to treat conditions that cannot be treated with other methods.

However, when using beta applicators, a number of factors must be taken into account, such as radiation dose, type of disease, age and health status of the patient. Therefore, before starting treatment, it is necessary to conduct a thorough examination of the patient and select the optimal type of beta applicator for a particular case.

Introduction

A beta applicator is a device designed for targeted irradiation of a tumor using radioactive radiation. Unlike conventional radiation therapy, beta radiation only targets the tumor, without affecting healthy tissue. This reduces the risk of complications and side effects
