Correcting for the heterogeneous boron distribution in a tumor for BNCT dose calculation
Abstract Most treatment planning systems of boron neutron capture therapy perform dose calculations based on the assumption of a homogeneous boron distribution in tumors, which leads to dose distortion due to the difference between the tumor-to-normal tissue ratio (TNR) range measured in positron em...
