Abstract

The SUCIMA collaboration has been developing instruments and methods for real-time, high granularity imaging of extended electron sources. In particular, dosimetry of intravascular brachytherapy beta sources has been intensively studied, together with monitoring of hadrontherapy beams by imaging of secondary electrons emitted by a non-disruptive target. The paper reports the latest results oil absolute dosimetry with a large-area silicon strip detectors and on beam monitoring with a hybrid pad sensor.
