Description
A systematic characterization of semiconductor detectors for entrance dose (ED) measurements was initiated in order to implement in vivo dosimetry as a part of quality assurance (QA) programme for external beam radiotherapy in our department. The DPD-3 Scanditronix basic unit with three p-type silicon diodes EDE-5, designed for Co-60 beams, and calibrated Farmer type ionization chamber connected to a Unidos PTW electrometer were used
