Role of gel dosimeters in boron neutron capture therapy

• Gel dosimeters have been investigated.
• Conventional dosimetric proses of BNCT has been investigated.
• Role of gel dosimeters in BNCT has been investigated.

Gel dosimeters have acquired a unique status in radiotherapy, especially with the advent of the new techniques in which there is a need for three-dimensional dose measurement with high spatial resolution. One of the techniques in which the use of gel dosimeters has drawn the attention of the researchers is the boron neutron capture therapy. Exploring the history of gel dosimeters, this paper sets out to study their role in the boron neutron capture therapy dosimetric process.
