Abstract
A portable dosimetry system measures individual seed strengths of fully loaded multi-seed holders. The system includes a 5 mm diameter scintillating fiber disposed in a groove on a rigid bed. A photomultiplier tube (PMT) is supported on the rigid bed and is coupled to an end surface of the scintillating fiber. Attachments are provided for positioning multi-seed holders adjacent the peripheral surface of the scintillating fiber, and movable shield plates are provided for inhibiting stray radiation (produced by neighboring seeds) from reaching the scintillating fiber. The system is useful for calibrating 100% of the seeds in a holder in less time than it currently takes to calibrate 10% of the seeds in the holder.
