The patient was suspected to have breast cancer, and two I-125 sources were implanted in the breast tissue. The patient returned home 9/18/23 with the implanted seeds, and returned to the clinic 9/20/23 to receive a Tc-99m injection prior to tissue removal. The licensee states they confirmed both seeds were no longer in the patient after surgery, however, when the samples were taken by pathology, only one seed was located in the removed tissue.

Some of these sources, such as moisture density gauges or thickness gauges that are Category 4, the amount of unshielded radioactive material, if not safely managed or securely protected, could possibly - although it is unlikely - temporarily injure someone who handled it or were otherwise in contact with it, or who were close to it for a period of many weeks.
