| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We developed a neutron imaging device for the verification of the treatment plan of boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) expected as one of the high precise radiation therapies. The measurement of the neutron is difficult due to it being mixed with another type of radiation such as a gamma ray or beta ray etc., and it produces various nuclear reactions. Furthermore, expensive neutron capture materials such as boron or lithium is necessary for the measurement. In this study, we clarified that inexpensive Cr doped aluminum oxide thermoluminescence phosphor was available in this measurement.
