Description

Boron Neutrons Capture Therapy (BNCT) is an experimental therapy based on nuclear reation initiated by capture of thermal neutrons by a 10B nucleus. The radiation effects of BNCT are associated with a complex, four-dose-component field. A graphite chamber filled with tissue equivalent gas, nitrogen and 10BF3 was for determination of the dose fractions. (author)
