The boron neutron capture therapy and the dose measuring methods

Objective: To analyze the key point and solutions of the dose measurement through the describing development of the dose measurement for BNCT. Methods: The problems of the dose measurement for BNCT were developed with the analysis of the development status, fundamentals, radiation dose components and dose measuring methods of BNCT. Results: Dose measurement is important for the quality of BNCT. The dose of neutron and gamma ray was respectively determined with the integral and real-time measuring methods. Conclusion: The difficulty of dose measurement for BNCT is to distinguish the dose of neutron and gamma, due to the n-γ mixture radiation field. (authors)
