It is apparent that brachytherapy has the advantage that the illumination distance is very short, allowing illumination proximate to the tissue surface, even into the tissue. Therefore, gamma rays with lower energy and better penetrability can be utilized; beta rays with larger ionization density and smaller penetrability; and alpha rays having a large ionization density and a small penetration capacity. Compared with high-energy gamma rays, the gamma rays have the advantages of being safer, more reliable, more accurate and the like.
