The development of new liquid polymers has extended the usefulness of the radiation polymerization dosimeter into the range of deep therapy doses. A dosimeter is described which consists of three dosimetric cells sealed in a transparent waterproof pocket. Each cell is a sealed gelatin capsule containing a dosimetric liquid and a small gas bubble. Exposure to the dose of radiation for which it was designed results in the formation of active radicals which initiate crosslinking to form an infinite network. The dosimetric end-point is detected visually by immovability of the bubble. The monitor can be used to monitor skin doses and doses to the linings of accessible cavities. The dosimeter is small in size, may be read iustantaneously without auxiliary equipment, and possesses sharpness and irreversibility of end-point. (C.H.)
