It includes a flexible support and a detection apparatus.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_single_image image=”4380″ img_size=”full” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

How does it work?<\/span><\/h3>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]In brachytherapy \u2013 or internal radiotherapy \u2013 the radiation source is placed inside or near a tumor mass to be treated, making it complex to obtain a direct measurement of the radiation dose irradiated on the tumor mass. Therefore, there is a need for instruments to precisely monitor the emitted radiation dose and the decay state of the radiation sources. <\/p>\n

The purpose of this invention is to provide a probe capable of accurately measuring the radiation dose it is exposed to and generating a reliable measurement signal. The probe includes an elongated flexible support and a detection apparatus. The detection apparatus comprises a sensor suitable for generating a signal indicative of the intensity of ionizing radiation impacting the detection apparatus, and a signal processing module. The probe according to this invention provides a stable and robust output signal.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
