}PURPOSE
To evaluate the performance of a diode array in the routine verification of planned dose to points inside the rectum from prostate high dose rate (HDR) brachytherapy using a real-time planning system.
METHODS
A dosimetric study involving 28 patients was undertaken where measured doses received during treatment were compared to those calculated by the treatment planning system (TPS). After the ultrasound imaging required for treatment planning had been recorded, the ultrasound probe…

TLD in-vivo measurements are easily performed in urethra and rectum during HDR brachytherapy of prostate patients and provide information about the dose delivered to critical structures, which may be of particular interest if higher doses are to be given per fraction such as in HDR monotherapy.

In vivo dosimetry, using electron paramagnetic resonance in l-alanine, performed on 13 patients treated for gynaecological cancers, yielded mixed results, with main sources of differences attributed to uncertainty in the determination of the detector position inside the patient's body and to uncontrolled changes in the detectors position during the treatment.
