N1 - To measure the intra-cavitary surface dose using a ring of thermoluminescent dosimeters (TLDs) along the rectal wall in vivo for proton therapy patients. Three representative prostate patients treated with uniform scanning proton beam were selected for this study: One patient was treated with 1 lateral field/day, the second with opposed laterals daily and the 3rd with RL and LAO fields.
