Description

A key issue is to determine whether fractionated BNCT is a feasible proposition. This issue has been reviewed by Dorn et al, who call for further experimental investigation of BNCT induced changes in the blood brain barrier and investigated by Hatanaka et al. In order to investigate the effect on BNCT, the authors measured 10B concentration and water content in the normal brain which has been subjected to BNCT regimen
