Caption: Douglass Henderson, professor of engineering physics, and Bruce Thomadsen, professor of medical physics, have developed a trio of technologies that may enable physicians to deliver more effective prostate cancer treatment. Central to their innovations are radioactive "seeds" (shown above). Just a few millimeters in diameter, they deliver cancer-killing radiation when physicians implant them strategically within diseased tissue.
