A physical dosimetry intercomparison for BNCT
Medical Physics, 2002An intercomparison of physical dosimetry methods used at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and Brookhaven National Laboratory was completed to enable retrospective analysis of BNCT trials. Measurements were performed under reference conditions pertinent to clinical irradiations at the epithermal neutron beam facility of the Brookhaven ...

Normalisation of prescribed dose in BNCT
Radiation Protection Dosimetry, 2007Normalisation of prescribed dose in boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) is needed to facilitate combining clinical data from different centres in the world to help expedite development of the modality. The approach being pursued within the BNCT community is based upon improving precision in the measurement and specification of absorbed dose.

1992
The revival of BNCT over the last decade, stimulated the formation in 1987 of the European Collaboration group on BNCT. The multi-disciplinary nature of BNCT has drawn together groups of researchers from many European institutes who are now collaborating in an effort to achieve the implementation of BNCT in Europe at the earliest possible date.

BNCT Beam Quality Maximization
2001The Beam Shaping Assembly (BSA) optimization code SWAN is applied for establishing (1) the maximum attainable beam quality dependence on the BSA thickness; (2) the tradeoff between the maximum attainable beam quality and the dose-equivalent delivered, per source neutron, to the tumor; (3) the sensitivity of the above characteristics to the BSA ...

2001
If BNCT were performed in a single, unique facility and if its science were unique, concepts and terminology specific to this new modality could be developed. However, BNCT is a form of radiation therapy. To benefit from the vast accumulated experience with all types of radiation therapy and to ensure a common understanding and allow a fruitful ...

Prescribing, Recording and Reporting of BNCT
2012In this chapter, recommendations for prescribing, recording and especially reporting of dose in BNCT are developed and discussed. The main goal of the authors was that these recommendations are coherent with the general rules of prescribing, recording and reporting of dose in conventional radiotherapy following international standards.

Neutronikaappaushoitoa kehitetään BNCT-asemalla
ATS Ydintekniikka, 2001Boorineutronikaappaushoitojen potilaskokeet on aloitettu toukokuussa 1999 FiR 1 -tutkimusreaktorin BNCT-asemalla. Toiminta tapahtuu Säteilyturvakeskuksen (STUK) NC-Hoito Oy:lle myöntämällä turvallisuusluvalla. Kohteena on pahanlaatuinen, primaari tai uusiutunut aivokasvain, glioblastoma multiforme.

INEL BNCT Program Directions with Respect to Clinical Trials of BNCT
1992The Idaho National Engineering Laboratory's Boron Neutron Capture Therapy (INEL/BNCT) Program was initially established in 1984 to provide a new improved, effective treatment for Glioblastoma Multiforme. To address this need, the Program was organized with four goals in mind: (1) develop BNCT as a more effective brain tumor treatment, (2) expand BNCT ...

Semiconductor Dosimetry in BNCT
2001The problems of neutron and gamma dosimetry in epithermal Boron Neutron Capture Therapy (BNCT) is quite complicated due to the wide epithermal neutron spectra 0.5—10 keV, fast neutron contribution up to 14MeV and photons from the reactor and induced in the phantom due to H(n,γ)H reaction. Furthermore, contributions from high LET products arising from B-
