Physics and Physiology of Neutron-capture Therapy* by L. E. Farr,
by reduction in size of the testis through degenerative changes. Both teratoma testis and small testis occur about three times more frequently on the left side than on the right, and it is suggested that similar etiological factors, which may be associated with gonadal migration, are involved. There seems to be a correlation between the size of a teratoma and the number of tissue types it conta...
متن کاملBoron 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 کاملشبیه 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...
Neutron capture therapy of cancer
Boron Neutron Capture Therapy (BNCT) can be performed at a facility with a nuclear reactor or at hospitals that have developed alternative neutron sources. A beam of epithermal neutrons penetrates the brain tissue, reaching the malignancy. Once there the epithermal neutrons slow down and these low-energy neutrons combine with boron 10 (delivered beforehand to the cancer cells by drugs or antibo...
متن کاملDesign and Simulation of Photoneutron Source by MCNPX Monte Carlo Code for Boron Neutron Capture Therapy
Introduction Electron linear accelerator (LINAC) can be used for neutron production in Boron Neutron Capture Therapy (BNCT). BNCT is an external radiotherapeutic method for the treatment of some cancers. In this study, Varian 2300 C/D LINAC was simulated as an electron accelerator-based photoneutron source to provide a suitable neutron flux for BNCT. Materials and Methods Photoneutron sources w...
