What is Electronic Brachytherapy?
Electronic Brachytherapy is a method of delivering radiation internal to the body using a miniaturized electronic X-ray source rather than a radioactive isotope.

The most significant differences between the two sources of radiation are:

• Due to the unique characteristics of the electronic source, less harmful radiation is delivered to surrounding healthy organs and tissue
  
  
• An isotope is always emitting radiation (and therefore has special safety requirements) whereas the electronic source can be turned on or off and requires very little special handling.
