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.
