AIM: to present the most important aspects of Microdosimetry, a research field in
radiation biophysics. BACKGROUND: microdosimetry is the branch of radiation
biophysics that systematically studies the spatial, temporal and spectral aspects
of the stochastic nature of the energy deposition processes in microscopic
structures. MATERIALS AND METHODS: we briefly review its history, the people, the
formalism and the theories and devices that allowed researchers to begin to
understand the true nature of radiation action on living matter. RESULTS AND
CONCLUSIONS: we outline some of its applications, especially to Boron Neutron
Capture Therapy, attempting to explain the biological effectiveness of the boron
thermal neutron capture reaction.
