Abstract
CVD diamond detectors have been evaluated for use as X-ray dosimeters. The
response both at radiological diagnostic and at therapeutic energies of one
"detector grade" commercially available parallelepiped CVD sample has been
measured and compared with the performances of a "needle shaped" CVD diamo
nd detector grown by the hot-filament CVD technique on a tungsten tip. All
the detectors were demonstrated to be very suitable for bio-medical applica
tion: they are linear in dose rate, stable and relatively fast, with a sign
al-to-noise ratio higher than 1000. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All righ
