Abstract :
The use of diamond detectors in radiotherapy and their potential advantage over silicon diodes and ionisation chambers is reviewed. Preliminary results on the performance of CVD diamond detectors in an X-ray beam are presented. While the devices are sufficiently sensitive, applications as dosimeters are at present limited by time dependent effects. Prospects for further work are described.
