Abstract
This review aims to trace the evolution of dosimetry, highlight its significance in the advancement of radiation research, and identify the current trends and methodologies in the field. Key historical milestones, starting with the first publications in the journal in 1954, will be synthesized before addressing contemporary practices in radiation medicine and radiobiological investigation. Finally, possibilities for future opportunities in dosimetry will be offered. The overarching goal is to emphasize the indispensability of accurate and reproducible dosimetry in enhancing the quality of radiation research and practical applications of ionizing radiation.
期刊介绍:
Radiation Research publishes original articles dealing with radiation effects and related subjects in the areas of physics, chemistry, biology
and medicine, including epidemiology and translational research. The term radiation is used in its broadest sense and includes specifically
ionizing radiation and ultraviolet, visible and infrared light as well as microwaves, ultrasound and heat. Effects may be physical, chemical or
biological. Related subjects include (but are not limited to) dosimetry methods and instrumentation, isotope techniques and studies with
chemical agents contributing to the understanding of radiation effects.
