SEVENTH FRAMEWORK PROGRAMME

RADICAL

Development of an innovative, accurate, monolithic 2D CVD Diamond based radiation dosimetry system for conformal radiotherapy solutions

Radical project will develop an innovative, high resolution, monolithic 2D CVD diamond array based radiation dosimetry system which will deliver the levels of performance required by IMRT. There is no other commercially available technology that can offer this. The science and technology required to do this will be challenging, yet the partnership comprises some of Europe's leading research and industrial companies. Our innovations in i) CVD diamond deposition, (PIP), (ii) overcoming priming effects and sensor fabrication, (iii) ultra low signal conditioning electronics with a self evaluation system to monitor degradation will enable us to achieve our goals.
