title: Diode dosimetry of 103Pd model 200 seed in water phantom.
abstract: The relative dose distribution around the 103Pd model 200 implant seed was measured with a computerized data acquisition system employing a p-n junction silicon diode immersed in a water phantom. Data are acquired in polar coordinates by computer control of (1) the diode distance from the seed center and (2) the rotation angle of seed about a transverse axis. Transverse axis data are compared with thermoluminescent dosimeter (TLD) measurements and a Monte Carlo calculation by others.
