Abstract

An applicator for performing brachytherapy includes a first elongated member suitable for receiving a radioactive source; a second elongated member, the second tubular member being spaced apart from the first elongated member; a first shielding member capable of being positioned at a first location along one of the elongated members; a second shielding member capable of being positioned at a second location spaced apart from the first shielding member along one of the elongated members; and a spacer capable of being positioned between the first and the second shielding members. The spacing of the first and second shielding members may be capable of adjustment by addition of one or more spacers between the first and second shielding members.
