Rectal monitor for use with afterloading intracavitary radioactive implants
Description
A battery-powered monitor that uses a miniature Geiger-Muller tube operating in the pulse-counting mode has been constructed. It is used with low-activity cesium-137 sources. The monitor gives a reading within about 1 second, has a standard deviation of 2% of the mean, and is safe, reliable, and stable
