What is the purpose of radioactive implants?
With the use of radioactive implants, the tumor is subjected to radioactive activity over a longer period of time, as compared to external beam therapy.
How do radioactive implants work?
Interstitial radiation therapy places the sources of radiation directly into the tumor and surrounding tissue.
What is the procedure used with radioactive implants?
The patient is required to remain in his or her bed or room during the treatment. During the period of greatest radioactivity (24-72 hours)

How long after having radiation for your thyroid can you be around your young children?
If you are receiving radiation treatment for cancer, you can still be around kids. The radiation, and the cancer, are not contagious.Another Answer:It depends on whether you just receive radiation, or if you have radioactive implants. If you just receive radiation therapy, such as gamma radiation from Cobalt-60, then you are not radioactive when you leave the facility. If you have implants, however, such as around the prostate gland in certain forms of therapy, you are radioactive, and you need to ask your radiation technologist and doctor what your limits are relative to being around children.Note: Some radiation treatment, particularly neutron bombardment, can cause activation of some of your atoms into a radioactive form. To be safe, talk to your doctor, etc. in any case.Also, bone scans, heart scans, and other types of scans where you are injected with a radioactive tracer, such as Technicium-99M, do make you radioactive for a short while, often just a few days. Again, talk to your doctor.

When are radioactive materials implanted into tissue to be treated?
Radioactive materials are implanted into tissue for treatment during a procedure known as brachytherapy. This technique is commonly used in the treatment of various cancers, such as prostate, breast, and cervical cancer. The radioactive implants deliver targeted radiation directly to the tumor while minimizing exposure to surrounding healthy tissue. The timing of the implantation depends on the specific type of cancer being treated and the overall treatment plan established by the healthcare provider.
Can you reuse implants?
I believe that implants that are removed are to be returned to the manufacturer for evaluation.
