Uncertainty improvement of Dose estimation by using alanine EPR dosimetry for FLASH Radiotherapy

October 25, 2023.

A seminar and round table were held as part of the project "UNCERTAINTY IMPROVEMENT OF DOSE ESTIMATION BY USING ALANINE EPR DOSIMETRY FOR FLASH RADIOTHERAPY", funded by the British Embassy Zagreb, on Monday, February 27, 2023, starting at 12:00 p.m., in the lecture hall of the III wing of the Ruđer Bošković Institute, Bijenička cesta 54.

Along with the British Embassy Zagreb and EURADOS, the seminar and round table were organized with the support of the Croatian Biophysical Society, the Croatian Society for Radiation Protection and the Croatian Society for Medical Physics.
