This invention includes methods of fabricating brachytherapy implant seeds, methods of fabricating brachytherapy implant seed cores, and brachytherapy implant seeds independent of method of fabrication. In one implementation, a brachytherapy implant seed includes a sealed inorganic metallic cylinder having a radioactive core received therein. The radioactive core includes an inorganic amorphous silicate glass tube having an exterior surface extending axially along the tube. An inorganic crystalline ceramic coating is received on at least a portion of the inorganic amorphous glass tube exterior surface. The coating includes a therapeutic dose of radioactive material. A radiographic marker is received within the sealed inorganic metallic cylinder. Other aspects and implementations are contemplated.

La présente invention a trait à des procédés de fabrication de semences d'implant de curiethérapie, des procédés de fabrication de noyaux de semences d'implant de curiethérapie, et des semences d'implant de curiethérapie indépendants du procédé de fabrication. Dans un mode de réalisation, la semence d'implant de curiethérapie comporte un cylindre métallique inorganique étanche comprenant un noyau radioactif qui y est logé. Le noyau radioactif comporte un tube en verre de silice amorphe inorganique présentant une surface extérieure s'étendant axialement le long du tube. Un revêtement en céramique cristalline inorganique amorphe est reçu sur au moins une portion de la surface extérieure du tube en verre amorphe inorganique. Le revêtement comporte une dose thérapeutique de matière radioactive. Un marqueur radioactif est reçu au sein du cylindre métallique inorganique. L'invention a également trait à d'autres aspects et modes de réalisation.
