Abstract
A spherical radiotherapy phantom for use with a source of radiation to receive a radiation dose distribution along a selected plane includes a spherical body comprising two hemispheres detachably connected together and comprising a solid homogenous material including a hollow compartment with a defined volumetric shape. A cartridge comprising a number of parallel planar plates, each configured to accommodate a planar radiation detecting medium and fitting together to form a shape corresponding to the defined volumetric shape of the hollow compartment, fits form fittingly in the hollow compartment when the two hemispheres are connected together.
