Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Methods are described for treating a target tissue with a radioisotope. Some methods include determining a distance between a target tissue and a surface of a matrix material to be positioned adjacent the target tissue and, based on the determined distance, determining an activity to be mixed with the matrix material to obtain a desired activity concentration. Some methods further include mixing the radioisotope with the matrix material. In some embodiments, the matrix material is a bone cement, and the target tissue is a tumor in a bone. The radioisotope may be a beta-emitting radioisotope mixed in the cement at a concentration to form a radioactive cement.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed: 1. A tissue removal device, comprising: an elongate body having an inner lumen extending from a proximal portion to a distal end; an elongate member extending through the lumen, the member having a long axis and a distal portion that extends in a direction transverse to the long axis, the elongate member long axis being eccentrically positioned relative to a central long axis of the elongate body, the member configured for axial movement and rotational movement…
