A low-dose-rate (LDR) brachytherapy device having a spatiotemporal
radiation profile includes an elongated body having a radioactive
material in a spatial pattern to provide a spatial radiation profile with
a radiation intensity that varies along a length of the elongated body.
The radioactive material includes at least first and second radioisotopes
having at least first and second respective decay profiles that together
provide a temporal radiation profile that is different from the first and
second decay profiles. The spatial radiation profile and the temporal
radiation profile form a net spatiotemporal radiation profile configured
to provide a radiotherapy plan for a patient.
