A Monte Carlo study of SPECT in boron neutron capture therapy for a heterogeneous human phantom
Background: Boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) is a binary radiotherapy combining biochemical targeting with neutron irradiation. However, monitoring the boron distribution is a fundamental problem in BNCT. Prompt gamma rays emitted by boron capture reaction can be used to address the issue. Materials and Methods: The general-purpose Monte Carlo toolkits Geant4 and MCNP were used for the simu...
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...
متن کاملDosimetry and dose planning in boron neutron capture therapy : Monte Carlo studies
Boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) is a biologically targeted radiotherapy modality. So far, 249 cancer patients have received BNCT at the Finnish Research Reactor 1 (FiR 1) in Finland. The effectiveness and safety of radiotherapy are dependent on the radiation dose delivered to the tumor and healthy tissues, and on the accuracy of the doses. At FiR 1, patient dose calculations are performed ...
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...
An 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...
