[A universal remote afterloading projector for gynecological curietherapy (author's transl)].
The Gynatron is a remote after loading system for gynecological radioactive applications. It allows the responsible personal to manually load the sources from outside of the patient's room. It's main advantages are: 1 degree A mechanical breakdown is virtually impossible because of the absence of a motorized system. 2 degrees It can be used with all types of applicators and all types of radium substitutes. The system described was used with cesium sources and Fletcher applicators. The radiation protection remains optimal during the treatment of the patient as well during the manipulation of the sources from the fixed to the mobile safe (Gynastock) as when there is a need to change the loading.
