The effect of geometry on capillary wall dose for boron neutron capture therapy
Creators

Description
Calculational results are presented which indicate that, for an equivalent boron concentration and neutron flux, the effects of geometrical differences between a blood-filled capillary and an array of tumour cells lead to a much smaller dose delivered to the endothelial cells than to either the blood or the tumour cells.
