Abstract
Two devices for measurement of skin dose in interstitial radium therapy are described. One employs a miniature Geiger counter and has a working range running from 5 milliröntgens per hour to 10 r per hour with a sensitive element of volume 1/4c.c. The other is a fluorescence meter with a screen of area half a square centimetre and a working range 5 to 120 r per hour.Keywords
