    Author: Haybittle JL, Mitchell JS.
    Journal: Br J Radiol; 1975 Apr; 48(568):295-8. PubMed ID: 1131487.
    Abstract:
    A simple manual after-loading system for the treatment of carcinoma of the cervix has been developed. Radiochemical Centre J-type caesium sources are used made up in PVC tubes which can be inserted into PVC uterine tubes or rubber ovoids after these have been packed in position in the patient. Radiation exposure to theatre staff has been reduced by a factor of about four.
