摘要: The need for accurate and comprehensive 3-dimensional treatment planning boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) has been debated the past several years. Although many argue against elaborate expensive programs which mimic conventional radiotherapy systems, it is clear that in order to realize significant gains over fractionated radiation therapy, patients must be treated edge of normal tissue tolerance. Just how close this dictated by uncertainties dosimetry. Hence focus BNCT determination dose distribution throughout volumes.
