Neutron autoradiography with nuclear tracks detectors: an imaging technique for Boron Neutron Capture Therapy

Journal of Physics: Conference Series, 2023
Abstract Boron Neutron Capture Therapy (BNCT) is a radiation treatment modality for cancer based on the 10B(n,α)7Li (BNC) reaction. Knowledge of the spatial location of boron atoms is essential when considering a BNCT treatment, since the BNC reaction products cause lethal damage in a range comparable to cell diameter.

Optical density of high fluence autoradiographic images to study boron microdistribution: validation of the technique in tissue sections

Frontiers in Nuclear Engineering
The distribution of boron in biological samples coming from BNCT protocols can be determined by the analysis of autoradiographic images formed by nuclear tracks on polymeric detectors.

AUTHENTICATION OF PAINTINGS BY RALPH A. BLAKELOCK THROUGH NEUTRON ACTIVATION AUTORADIOGRAPHY. [PDF]

Journal of Radioanalytical Chemistry, 1972
Following his mental collapse at the end of the nineteenth century the paintings of Ralph A. Blakelock suddenly began to bring exceptionally high prices. Not surprisingly, therefore, many forgeries attributed to him were produced in the early twentieth century. In fact, some experts consider him to have been the most widely forged American painter.

Porous Silicon as a Platform for Radiation Theranostics Together with a Novel RIB‐Based Radiolanthanoid

Contrast Media &Molecular Imaging, Volume 2019, Issue 1, 2019., 2019
Mesoporous silicon (PSi) is biocompatible and tailorable material with high potential in drug delivery applications. Here, we report of an evaluation of PSi as a carrier platform for theranostics by delivering a radioactive ion beam‐ (RIB‐) based radioactive lanthanoid into tumors in a mouse model of prostate carcinoma. Thermally hydrocarbonized porous

Boron delivery agents for neutron capture therapy of cancer

Cancer Communications, Volume 38, Issue 1, Page 1-15, December 2018., 2018
Abstract Boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) is a binary radiotherapeutic modality based on the nuclear capture and fission reactions that occur when the stable isotope, boron‐10, is irradiated with neutrons to produce high energy alpha particles. This review will focus on tumor‐targeting boron delivery agents that are an essential component of this ...

A Brief Review of Radiolabelling Nucleic Acid‐Based Molecules for Tracking and Monitoring

Journal of Labelled Compounds and Radiopharmaceuticals, Volume 67, Issue 12-13, Page 410-424, October-November 2024.
Nucleic acid‐based molecules are radiolabelled with beta‐plus, gamma or beta‐minus emitters for tracking and monitoring. ABSTRACT The rise of nucleic acid‐based therapeutics continues apace. At the same time, the need for radiolabelled oligonucleotides for determination of spatial distribution is increasing.
