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...
متن کاملAn investigation into the potential applicability of gel dosimeters for dosimetry in boron neutron capture therapy
Background: The aim of this work was to establish how well gel dosimeters performed, as substitutes for brain tissue compared with standard phantom materials such as water, polymethyl-methacrylate (or PMMA), A150 plastic and TE- liquid phantom material for dosimetry of neutron beams in boron neutron capture therapy. Materials and Methods: Thermal neutron fluence, photon dose and epithermal neu...

متن کاملBoron Neutron Capture Therapy for Breast Cancer
in 1960’s, but showed little development, as the thermal and epithermal neutron sources were not economical. Nuclear reactors, and recently cyclotrons are being used as neutron sources, thus enabling its widespread utilization (1). Gamma rays are utilized for the irradiation of tumor tissues, and fractional doses up to 50-60 Gray required for tumor ablation in conventional radiation therapy. Su...
متن کاملMicrodosimetry for boron neutron capture therapy.
Preclinical studies for boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) using epithermal neutrons are ongoing at several laboratories. The absorbed dose in tumor cells is a function of the thermal neutron flux at depth, the microscopic boron concentration, and the size of the cell. Dosimetry is therefore complicated by the admixture of thermal, epithermal, and fast neutrons, plus gamma rays, and the array...
