Veridose Solid-State Diode Detectors

 •Designed to provide superior response, reliability, and performance
•Long-lifetime diodes. Tested to 2 x 106 cGy in a high-energy electron beam, the most damaging radiation
•Very low dose rate and temperature dependence
•Hemispherical shape improves isotropic response and reduces angular and field-size dependencies

Introduction
Using the VeriDose Patient Dose Monitor Quality Control (PDMQC)
System or the VeriDose V Patient Dose Monitor in conjunction with
VeriDose Solid-State Diode Detectors, you can verify the given dose
quickly and accurately during treatment, thus avoiding potential
misadministration of radiation.

Applications
VeriDose Solid-State Diode Detectors are solid-state silicon-based
radiation detectors that utilize a p-n junction. These rugged diodes are
encased within a biocompatible polystyrene material. A low noise
coaxial cable is used to connect the diode to an electrometer. When
attached to an electrometer, these diodes provide enhanced sensitivity
and instantaneous response time.

Features
• Waterproof design with appropriate buildup for all clinical photon and electron energies
• Flat bottom permits secure, easy placement on the patient
• Color-coded for ease of identification
• Dose rate independent
• Responds to photons and electrons
• Responds to dose rates of 1.0 to 1000 cGy/min
• Can be used on continuous (60Co) x-ray beams, pulsed (linear-accelerator) x-ray beams, and electron beams
• Optimized for use with all Nuclear Associates’ Patient Dose Monitors and high-quality medical-grade ionization chamber electrometers
• All diodes are supplied with a non-crimp repairable cable with a coax BNC connector
