1. An electron applicator comprising:
a collimating body having a proximate end, a distal end, and a first opening that extends from the proximate end to the distal end;
a dosimeter having a radiation detector and a processing circuit coupled to the radiation detector to measure radiation levels detected by the radiation detector, the radiation detector being coupled to the proximate end of the collimating body; and
a cutout having a second opening that extends through the cutout, the cutout being coupled to the distal end of the collimating body.
