摘要: The clinical commissioning of beams for neutron capture therapy involves the measurement and analysis a large amount data in various geometries using detectors. process as such is akin to that conventional photon electron radiotherapy field, while tools, methods considerations field are different. This chapter provides an introduction summary presently constitute common practice dosimetry epithermal intended use therapy. Special care taken order allow adherence terminology detectors calibrated at standards laboratories.
