Clinical and radiobiological experience has shown that differences in absorbed dose of less than 10 percent can be recognized for tumor eradication probability as well as for normal tissue damage. These observations determine the degree of precision and overall accuracy required in medical neutron dosimetry. Standard neutron fields are available only for restricted conditions; the feasibility of a number of detectors as standard dosimeters is considered. Uncertainties in basic physical parameters are discussed, and recommendations for future research in neutron dosimetry for biology and medicine are included. 4 figures, 6 tables.
