To investigate the feasibility of solid polymer dosimetry as an accurate 3-D dose verification applied to prostatic brachytherapy, the model 6711 Oncoseed TM was selected for a pilot study comparing experimental methods and Monte Carlo simulations. This study is presented as a typical case study of what can be achieved using solid polymer dosimetry. © 2006 IOP Publishing Ltd
