Abstract
A brachytherapy apparatus and a brachytherapy method using the brachytherapy apparatus are provided. The brachytherapy apparatus includes a rod-shaped main element, a first holder, a second holder, side elements which extend between the first holder and the second holder and which are flexible and connected to the first holder and the second holder in such a way that a change in the relative position of the first holder in relation to the second holder brings about a change in the distance between the main element and the at least one side element, and a measuring apparatus configured to specify a measurement value based on at least one coordinate of the relative position of the first holder in relation to the second holder, said measurement value representing a quantity that depends on the distance.
