This paper first introduces the components and types of two-dimensional matrix detector, two-dimensional ionization chamber matrix detector and two-dimensional semiconductor matrix detector, then analyzes the dosimetric characteristics of the two-dimensional matrix detector. In the end, the various applications of the two-dimensional matrix detector are analyzed and discussed in detail. The paper aims to promote the two-dimensional matrix detector’s development  in the field of radiotherapy in China.
