Abstract
A dosimetry system having a solid-state dosimeter with one or more solid-state detectors for detecting radiation and an electrometer module with a circuit adapted to receive electrical impulses from the solid-state detectors, convert the impulses into a count and provide such count to a computer.
Claims16
A dosimeter for verification the amount of radiation received by a patient undergoing radiation therapy, comprising:
- at least one dedicated, solid-state radiation detector for generating a plurality of electrical impulse signals in response to detecting said radiation;
- an electrometer module, in response to receiving said electrical impulse signals from said radiation detector, for converting said electrical impulse signals into a numerical count and outputting said count;
- and
- an electrical wire, permanently attached at one end to said radiation detector and permanently attached at the other end to said electrometer module, for transmitting said electrical impulse signals from said radiation detector to said electrometer module.
