MOSkin detectors were studied to perform real-time in vivo dose measurements in high dose rate prostate brachytherapy. Measurements were performed inside an urethral catheter in a gel phantom simulating a real prostate implant. Measured and expected doses were compared and the discrepancy was found to be within 8.9% and 3.8% for single MOSkin and dual-MOSkin configurations, respectively. Results show that dualMOSkin detectors can be profitably adopted in prostate brachytherapy treatments to perform real-time in vivo dosimetry inside the urethra.  • A needles implant was set up in phantom to simulate prostate brachytherapy treatments • In vivo dosimetry was performed in the urethral catheter with MOSkin dosimeters • Dual-MOSkin detectors resulted to be accurate dosimeters to perform this task -2- MOSkin detectors were studied to perform real-time in vivo dose measurements in high dose rate prostate brachytherapy.
