Boron Neutron Capture

The skin dose exceeds its dose limitation easily in using an accelerator-based neutron source for non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT). To solve this problem, design analyses in materials and thicknesses of skin-shielding schemes were investigated through Monte Carlo method. Two skin-shielding schemes were better and could reduce the healthy organ dose: scheme A (0.1 cm-thick thermoplastic with 96%-enriched 6LiF), and scheme B (0.6 cm-thick lithium carbonate). Scheme B with shorter irradiation time was the optimized schemes to improve the dose distribution of BNCT for NSCLC.
