The dose at least temporarily removes regeneration inhibitors from the irradiated regions. Substantially unirradiated cells surviving ... 08/03/06 - 20060173233 - Brachytherapy applicator for delivery and assessment of low-level ionizing radiation therapy and methods of use Applicators for ionizing radiation therapy and their methods of use are provided for expedient preparation of precise treatment plans and for quantitative assessment of therapy delivered to natural or surgically-created, intra-corporeal cavities or lumina. Feedback capability is provided for timely treatment control and for verification of treatment to plan using ... 08/03/06 - 20060173232 - Hdr adapter for electronic radiation source applicator An applicator designed for use with a miniature electronic x-ray source, having a relatively large guide for the electronic source, is modified by an adapter inserted into the source guide to produce a narrower-diameter guide that will receive a standard afterloader that irradiates with isotopes. ... 05/25/06 - 20060111605 - Methods and apparatus for intraocular brachytherapy A method for performing intraocular brachytherapy and an apparatus for performing the same is disclosed. The apparatus preferably comprises a hand-held delivery device that advances a radiation source into an associated cannula or probe that is positioned adjacent the target tissue. The handpiece provides for shielded storage of the radiation ... 12/15/05 - 20050277802 - Method and apparatus for intraocular brachytherapy A method for performing intraocular brachytherapy and an apparatus for performing the same is disclosed. The apparatus preferably comprises a hand-held delivery device that advances a radiation source into an associated cannula or probe that is positioned adjacent the target tissue. The handpiece provides for shielded storage of the radiation ... 11/17/05 - 20050256360 - Methods of enhancing radiation effects with metal nanoparticles The present invention provides methods of using metal nanoparticles 0.5 to 400 nm in diameter to enhance the dose and effectiveness of x-rays or of other kinds of radiation in therapeutic regimes of ablating a target tissue such as tumor. The metal nanoparticles can be administered intravenously, intra-arterially, or locally ... 10/20/05 - 20050234285 - Intraocular lens implant having accommodative capabilities An intraocular implant including a lens and a shell component. The shell component includes a shell peripheral wall encompassing a shell inner volume for protectively enclosing the lens and allowing the latter to move therein between lens accommodating positions. The lens is pivotable within the shell inner volume between a ... 09/22/05 - 20050209499 - Automated implantation system for radioisotope seeds An automated implantation system assists the implantation of low dose radioisotope seeds in a patient as part of a brachytherapy procedure.
