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.
