Simulation of the BNCT of Brain Tumors Using MCNP Code: Beam Designing and Dose Evaluation

Introduction BNCT is an effective method to destroy brain tumoral cells while sparing the healthy tissues. The recommended flux for epithermal neutrons is 109 n/cm2s, which has the most effectiveness on deep-seated tumors. In this paper, it is indicated that using D-T neutron source and optimizing o...
