Pour la curiethérapie, on met une substance radioactive dans un contenant scellé directement dans la tumeur : c'est un implant.

Les implants radioactifs se présentent sous diverses formes, dont des applicateurs spéciaux, des fils minces, des tubes (cathéters), des rubans, des aiguilles, des capsules et des petits grains.
