A general purpose radiotherapy device (30) can be fabricated to net or near- net shape and then made radioctive in a single activation step. The device is made at least partially of a transmutable material (42) which is transformable to a radioisotope-containing material upon activation by an accelerated beam of charged particles, such as protons, deuterons or alpha particles. The transmutable material (42) is preferably rhodium and the radioisotope preferably comprises palladium (103).

L'invention concerne un dispositif de radiothérapie (30) à usages multiples, qui peut être fabriqué avec une technique de finition immédiate ou pratiquement immédiate, avant d'être rendu radioactif en une seule étape d'activation. Ce dispositif est fabriqué au moins partiellement à partir d'un matériau transmutable (42) qui peut se transformer en un matériau contenant des radio-isotopes lors de l'activation par un faisceau accéléré de particules chargées, comme des protons, des deutérons, ou des particules alpha. Le matériau pouvant être transmuté (42) est, de préférence, du rhodium, et le radioisotope comprend de préférence du palladium (103).
