  • 1. Wake Forest Univ., Winston-Salem, NC (USA). Bowman Gray School of Medicine

Description

An integrating dosimeter using a silicon diode has been developed which can be used to check the calibration of radiation therapy treatment units at remote facilities by mail. The dose reading is retained indefinitely in a battery-operated CMOS digital counter. The accuracy of the device is at least +-0.6% standard deviation, as determined by 60Co irradiations over a two month period. (orig.)
