Improvement in the neutron beam collimation for application in boron neutron capture therapy of the head and neck region
Abstract In June 2020, the Japanese government approved boron neutron capture therapy for the treatment of head and neck cancer. The treatment is usually performed in a single fraction, with the neutron irradiation time being approximately 30–60 min. As neutrons scatter in air and loses its intensit...
