Boron neutron capture therapy – a brief review of principles and clinical applications

Studia Medyczne
Boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) exploits alpha and lithium particles produced in the boron-10 fission reaction (10B(n,α)7Li) with epithermal neutrons to inactivate cancer cells in the tumour volume ranges of produced alpha and lithium particles are ...

Fast Neutron Fluence Rate Measurement for the Neutron Beams at IHNI-1

Journal of Isotopes, 2017
To validate and determine the contamination source term of fast neutrons produced by the first in-Hospital Neutron Irradiator (IHNI-1) for boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT), a boron-covered 235U fission chamber was designed to be used for the ...

Design of a neutron target for boron neutron capture therapy

He jishu
BackgroundBoron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) is a promising tumor therapy method that irradiates 10B attached tumors with thermal or epithermal neutrons. Specifically, 7Li(p,n)7Be is one of the main methods for producing thermal or epithermal neutrons.

Liver metastases in "Neutron Capture Therapy: Principles and Appliations"

, 2012
Neutron capture therapy (NCT) is based on the ability of the non-radioactive isotope boron-10 to capture thermal neutrons with very high probability and immediately to release heavy particles with a path length of one cell diameter, which in principle ...
