Abstract: BackgroundEvaluation of the boron dose is essential for boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT). Nevertheless, a direct evaluation method for the boron‐dose distribution has not yet been established in the clinical BNCT field. To date, even in quality assurance (QA) measurements, the boron dose has been indirectly evaluated from the thermal neutron flux measured using the activation method with gold foil or wire and an assumed boron concentration in the QA procedure. Recently, we successfully conducted optical im… Show more
