IRIDIUM IR-192 is a radioactive isotope of iridium. It can be used in brachytherapy to treat tumors by selectively delivering a cytotoxic dose of radiation to the tumor site. IRIDIUM IR-192 implants are also used. They are produced in wire form and are introduced through a catheter to the target area.
