Explanation:

Brachytherapy is a type of cancer radiation therapy/ treatment which involves the placement of radioactive material within specific regions of the body. This maybe utilized to deliver more specific cancer treatments in affected areas. Available within higher doses in comparison to whole body radiation treatments.

Bone density tests called DEXA (dual energy x-ray) scans measure the bones density by focusing on specific regions namely the spine and hip bones This diagnoses and  can even determine a person's risk of developing developing osteoporosis which is a condition in which the bones are weakened and fragile

The test uses small doses of ionizing radiation (X-rays) to provide internal scans.

DXAs are also used prior to cancer treatment in order to potentially diagnose cancer present in the bone and to monitor bone health throughout treatment uses a very small dose of ionizing radiation to produce pictures of the inside of the body (usually the lower (or lumbar) spine and hips) to measure bone loss.
