Popis:	The technology of direct dosimetry was examined during a session of automated high-power interstitial gamma therapy for prostate cancer with a source of iridium-192 using a MKD-04 scintillation multi-detector dosimeter developed at the JSC ROSATOM. Miniature detectors of up to 5 pieces allow simultaneous measurements in areas of medical interest - the urethra and the rectum at different distances from the intrastats. The technology of direct dosimetry with rigid fixation of detectors is aimed at increasing quality assurance and reducing the frequency of complications. The dosimeter MKD-04 can be used for all types of automated brachytherapy, as well as in bundles of gamma-therapeutic devices to monitor the dose prescribed and actually received by the patient.
