Abstract: The present invention relates to a dosimetry device for verification of quality of a radiation beam in standard and conformal radiation therapy, and for IMRT (Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy) applications. The device includes an active area comprising individual radiation detectors. The active area comprises a limited number of lines of radiation detectors, and a number of extra radiation detectors dedicated to the energy measurement of electrons or photons. It also comprises a build-up plate with energy degraders. The energy degraders are located upstream from the extra radiation detectors in the path of the radiation beam.

Abstract: A radiation monitor and method of monitoring the radiation delivered to a target by a radiation device is described. The radiation monitor contains a set or matrix of pixel ion chambers. The pixel ion chambers are preferably constructed of a top electrode and a segmented electrode connected to the top electrode through a mid layer. The plurality of pixel ion chambers is formed within the mid layer extending from the top electrode to the segmented electrode. The mid layer is laminated to the top electrode and segmented electrode by an array of adhesive dots, wherein the adhesive dots are dimensioned and positioned on the mid layer to provide ventilation slits or channels for the ion chambers.
