Three-Dimensional Radiation Dose Distribution Analysis for Boron Neutron Capture Therapy

Autor: David W. Nigg, Floyd J. Wheeler

Publikováno v: Nuclear Science and Engineering. 110:16-31

This paper reports that calculation of physically realistic radiation dose distributions for boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) is a complex, three-dimensional problem. Traditional one-dimensional (slab) and two-dimensional (cylindrical) models, wh
