(Radioactive Seed Implantation Therapy) Brachytherapy is a type of radiation therapy in which a sealed source (encapsulated radionuclide) is placed inside the patient as close as possible to the area being treated. The brachytherapy source delivers usually gamma or beta radiation at a distance up to a few centimeters either by surface, intracavitary or interstitial application.

Breast imaging methods include mammography (mammogram), ultrasound, breast MRI, positron emission tomography, xeromammography, diaphanography and thermography.
Mammography is widely used as a screening method and diagnostic tool for breast cancer detection or evaluation of breast disease. Digital mammography takes multiple thin digital image 'slices' through the breast, which provides higher potential to see a small mass within dense tissue. The mammography quality standards act guarantees a high image quality.
Breast ultrasound (also called ultrasonography) should only be used as an additional imaging modality to evaluate specific breast abnormalities, especially to differentiate cystic from solid masses. Ultrasound is also used to guide needle breast biopsies.
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is useful for breast MRI screening in cases of high cancer risk. In addition, multifocal breast cancer can be missed by standard practice mammography and can be early detected with breast MRI.

The brightness is the balance of light and dark shades in a displayed image. High brightness (also called density or intensity) settings produce bright images and low settings produce dark images. The contrast determines how many gray levels are displayed and the density determines the intensity.

A broad beam describes a radiation shielding situation in which the beam impinging on a barrier surface is laterally extensive including scattered radiation.
