Severe hypoxia [oxygen partial pressure (pO2) below 5–10 mmHg] is more frequent in
glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) compared to lower-grade gliomas. Seminal studies in the …

Given the renewed interest in boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) and the intensified
search for improved boron carriers, as well as the difficulties of coherently comparing the …

Objective. This work presents a method for enhanced detection, imaging, and measurement
of the thermal neutron flux. Approach. Measurements were performed in a water tank, while …

Boron has been suggested to enhance the biological effectiveness of proton beams in the
Bragg peak region via the p+ 11B→ 3α nuclear capture reaction. However, a number of …

The biological effectiveness in proton therapy is only slightly greater than of the treatment by
X-ray and hence, many researches have suggested the use of gold nanoparticles for …

Thermal neutrons generated in the body during proton beam therapy (PBT) can be used to
cause boron neutron capture reactions and have recently been proposed as neutron …

Simple Summary Although particle therapy using protons and heavier ions has many
inherent advantages when compared to x-rays for cancer treatment, numerous unknowns …

We present a gamma-ray detection module for quantifying the boron neutron capture events
that occur in the boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) and neutron capture enhanced …

Abstract Neutron Capture Enhanced Particle Therapy (NCEPT) boosts the effectiveness of
particle therapy by capturing thermal neutrons produced by beam-target nuclear interactions …

The increase in heavy ion therapy centers worldwide has triggered the search for new ion
types. It has been seen that there is an urgent need for the application of robust biophysical …
