Question: Will my wife and family be exposed to radiation because of the seeds in my body?

Answer: Following a seed implant, we take measurements as to the amount of radiation that surrounds the patient. Limitations may be placed. However, the likelihood of any restrictions to the patient's immediate family are negligible.
