Abstract Miniature silicon photodiodes have been tested for utilization in radiotherapy. Their use in the treatment of ca laryngis is described. The actually given dose was monitored during irradiation. Treatment plan or the setting up of the entrance fields was modified according to the response of the diode. This method seems to be a useful tool for checking both the treatment plan and appropriate setting up of the patient in treatment position.
