Abstract :
Radiotherapy requires an accurate knowledge of the applied dose. The impact of daily routine radiotherapy procedures on deviation of the dose can be detected online only by an semiconductor diode in-vivo dosimetry system. The in-vivo dosimetry system used traced as random the systematic deviation of the applied dose and the patient set-up within a range of 2-10%
