Exploring the use of high energy medical linear accelerator in boron neutron capture therapy
Boron Neutron Capture Therapy (BNCT) is based on the nuclear reaction that occurs when 10B loaded tissue is irradiated with thermal neutron yielding high linear energy transfer alpha particles and recoiling 7Li nuclei. Neutron sources for BNCT are currently limited to research nuclear reactors. Howe...
