Abstract

An in-vivo dose detector (41) for an HDR brachytherapy system, the detector comprising first and second sensors (55) that are operable to detect radiation from a source used to irradiate a tissue to be treated in the course of an HDR brachytherapy treatment, wherein said sensors (55) are arranged in said detector (41) so as to be differently orientated from one another.
