Application of Thermoluminescent Dosimeters to Mixed Neutron- Gamma Dosimetry for BNCT

  • Chapter
Frontiers in Neutron Capture Therapy

Abstract

Thermoluminescence dosimeters have become a current dosiemtric tool in photon, electron and neutron radiation beams for dose determination in “in vivo” dosimetry, as well as in phantoms simulating patient treatments.
