Device, related to the means for radiation therapy of malignant and benign
neoplasms and certain other diseases, comprise hollow probe 5, source 1
of neutral particle radiation in the form of X-ray or gamma quanta or
neutrons, and means of shaping the particle beam of said radiation
oriented by the longitudinal axis of the probe. Means of shaping the
particle beam is executed in the form of collimator or lens 18 comprising
aggregate of curved channels for radiation transmission with a total
internal reflection. Said means may be located inside of the probe 5. On
using the device, probe 5 is introduced into the body of patient 11, with
its distal end 7 approaching pathological locus 13 or inserted directly
into it.For exposure of pathological locus, use is made of radiation of
the neutral particles source directly or secondary radiation excited in
the target placed in the distal end of the probe or radiation dissipated
with this target.Design of the device requires no evacuation of the probe
and use of high voltage in the latter, is easily transformed by the probe
replacement, in particular, to change its size, to change energy and
directional pattern of radiation affecting the pathological locus. Making
of the probe removable simplifies its sterilization.
