    AbstractA stereotactically implanted afterloaded system for the interstitial radiotherapy of brain tumours is described. The technique has the advantages of accuracy of dosimetry, no radiation hazard in the operating theatre and ease of afterloading with a source which may be inserted and removed at will. Caesium-137 is used, but the system could equally well be used with other isotopes.
