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...
متن کاملThe Dosimetry Calculation for Boron Neutron Capture Therapy
BNCT incorporates the targeting principles of chemotherapy and the anatomical localization principles of conventional radiotherapy but with three distinct advantages: Current boron compounds at the required concentrations are non-toxic. The time interval between drug administration and neutron irradiation can be chosen to maximize the concentration differential between tumour and normal tis...

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...
