Neutron capture therapy at the MITR-II

  • 1. Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, MA (United States)

Description

Research and clinical studies in NCT require a wide range of specialized neutron facilities. High intensity and high purity thermal and epithermal neutron irradiation facilities, as well as macroscopic and microscopic boron analysis capabilities, are crucial for this research and have been developed for dedicated use at the MITR-II. These facilities are presently being used to advance this complex but promising cellular targeting radiation therapy
