Dosimetry: Was and Is an Absolute Requirement for Quality Radiation Research.

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.
