A compact scintillator-based detector with collimator and shielding for dose monitoring in boron neutron capture therapy
Boron neutron capture therapy exploits 10B(n,α)7Li reactions for targeted tumor destruction. In this work, we aimed at developing a dose monitoring system based on the detection of 478keV gamma rays emitted by the reactions, which is very challenging due to the severe background present. We investig...
