Boron Neutron Capture Therapy - A Literature Review

Boron Neutron Capture Therapy

A project aimed at the development of an accelerator facility devoted to Boron Neutron Capture Therapy (BNCT) is ongoing at the National Atomic Energy Commission of Argentina [1]. In a first stage of development, the accelerator will be capable of delivering proton or deuteron beams of 30 mA at about 1.4 MeV which is suitable for neutron production through the 9Be(d,n) reaction. In this context...

شبیه سازی چشمه 7li(p,n)7be جهت استفاده در bnct (boron neutron capture therapy)

با توجه به اینکه امروزه بیماران بسیاری در سراسر جهان از سرطان رنج میبرند،دانشمندان در تلاشند روشهای درمانی جدیدتر و بهتری را کشف کنند .یکی از این روشها "درمان بوسیله گیراندازی نوترون توسط بور (bnct)" نام دارد که میتواند یکی از بهترین روشهای مفید و موثر و جایگزین در درمان سرطانهایی از نوع glioblastoma و melanoma نسبت به روشهای متداولی چون شیمی درمانی یا رادیوتراپی باشد.در این روش هدف انجام واکنش...

Review of Accelerator-based Boron Neutron Capture Therapy Machines

Accelerator-based BNCT (Boron Neutron Capture Therapy) facilities are being studied, developed and constructed at many laboratories and hospitals, especially in Japan. In order to provide sufficient neutron flux in the epi-thermal energy region (0.5 ~ 10 keV), an intense proton beam accelerated with a cyclotron, linear accelerator (linac) or DC accelerator up to 2.5 ~ 30 MeV is directed to lith...
