Abstract
In boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) the physical dose
must have a metrologically traceable link to the
international dosimetry standards. The dosimetry
procedure at FIR 1 can he considered to guarantee that
the delivered physical doses in the planned treatments of
glioma patients at FIR 1 have a metrologically traceable
links to the dosimetry standards. The dosimetry procedure
is divided into three sections: pre-irradiation methods,
dosimetric monitoring during the irradiation, and the
post-irradiation measurements. The uncertainties in the
physical dose components in the treatments can be
estimated based on the phantom irradiations.
