High energy physics (HEP) experiments and research gave rise to the development of high spatial resolution tracking vertex detectors and the accompanying data acquisition systems (DAQ) capable of high temporal resolution measurements. The technology translation from HEP to the day to day medical radiation dosimetry is gradual but certain. This paper discusses the design and development of a high spatial resolution (0.2 mm pitch) silicon strip detector referred to as the Dose Magnifying Glass designed and prototyped by the Centre for Medical Radiation Physics (CMRP), University of Wollongong. The DMG has 128 phosphor implanted n+ strips on a p-type silicon …
