Optical images of 125I seeds with a various core diameter and the same overall diameter of 600 μm. (a) Core diameter of 400 μm, Q1 = 120 μL/min, Q2 = 3 μL/min, Q3 = 1 μL/min, the radioactivity of a single 125I-encapsulated microsphere was about 0.17 mCi; (b) core diameter of 200 μm, Q1 = 120 μL/min, Q2 = 3.83 μL/min, Q3 = 0.17 μL/min, the radioactivity of a single 125I-encapsulated microsphere was about 0.02 mCi.
