A method for preparing a radioactive surface source for radiotherapy is disclosed. The method comprises: (a) providing a structure having a surface; (b) positioning the structure in a flux of at least one radionuclide so as to collect atoms of the at least one radionuclide on or beneath the surface; and (c) treating the surface such that the atoms are intercalated into the surface but allowed to recoil out of the surface upon radioactive decay. In various exemplary embodiments of the invention the method further comprises coating the surface by at least one layer of polymeric material, such that the atoms are collected into the polymeric material.
L'invention concerne une procédé destiné à préparer à la radiothérapie une source à surface radioactive. Le procédé consiste: (a) à fournir une structure possédant une surface; (b) à positionner la structure dans un flux d'au moins un nucléide radioactif de manière à collecter des atomes d'au moins un nucléide radioactif sur ou au-dessous de la surface; et (c) à traiter la surface de sorte que les atomes soient intercalées dans la surface mais qu'ils puissent en ressortir par détérioration radioactive. Dans divers modes de réalisation caractéristiques de l'invention, la procédé consiste en outre à revêtir la surface d'au moins une couche de matière polymère, de sorte que les atomes soient collectés dans la matière polymère.
