A clear rationale exists for routine in vivo dosimetry as part of an overall quality assurance (QA) programme within a radiotherapy department. A survey was undertaken in order to identify the extent of diode dosimetry practice within the UK.Questionnaires were distributed to 57 radiotherapy physics departments in the UK in order to determine the extent of central axis diode dosimetry and the protocols implemented, the range of other in vivo measurements performed using diodes and the type of equipment used. Fifty-four responses were received. Eighteen departments undertook some form of central axis entrance dosimetry. Fifteen departments could be considered to be doing this routinely. Seven departments indicated planned future use. Six centres routinely undertook exit dosimetry with a further 3 indicating planned future use. Varied protocols for use were reported by those centres undertaking central axis dosimetry. Thirty-two respondents used a diode system for other forms of in vivo measurements with critical organ and TBI dosimetry being the most common. The vast majority used Scanditronix equipment.Despite the distinct benefits of central axis diode dosimetry, this continues to be infrequently adopted as part of a departmental QA programme. However, an indication of a number of departments planning to implement such an approach is reassuring.
