[A device for rapid and reliable loading, with reduced radiation exposure, of Hodt applicators with Au-198 seeds].
Thanks to the improved devices at the Royal Marsden gun the loading time for gold seeds has been reduced by about one third as well as the radiation exposure has been reduced to about one tenth, due to the fact that the fingers are not so long close to the seeds. The reliability and the manageability has been improved, too.
