| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) is an ultimate heavy particle therapy for refractory and recurrent tumors, which is possible to select and attack only tumor cells containing boron compounds. A prototype of gamma-ray detector, which is available to monitor therapeutic boron dose in real time, has been designed and developed for its performance studies with checking sources and originally-developed software associated with data acquisition and analysis. As a result, it has been verified that distortion in measurement of gamma-ray position is correctable with the original method using uniform background data.
