This work provides the first experimental proof of an increased neutron capture photon
signal following the introduction of boron to a PMMA phantom during helium and carbon ion …

We report the performances of a compact gamma-ray detection prototype, based on a 2”
LaBr 3 scintillator crystal coupled to a matrix of 64 SiPMs, designed as a single unit for a …

Monolithic gamma-ray detectors can be used in SPECT systems for monitoring the delivered
dose during Boron Neutron Capture Therapy treatments. Gamma-ray hit localization in thick …

Purpose: To evaluate the impact of a range of shielding strategies on the rate of false
positive detections by a simulated detector for application in Neutron Capture Enhanced …

Prompt gamma imaging (PGI) is a promising technique to tackle range uncertainties in
particle therapy with protons, helium and carbon ions. Several concepts have been …

Boron Neutron Capture Therapy (BNCT) is a binary cancer therapy where a low energy
neutron beam is incident upon a patient who has been administered a tumour-seeking 10B …

Boron neutron capture therapy exploits 10 B (n, α) 7 Li reactions for targeted tumor
destruction. In this work, we aimed at developing a dose monitoring system based on the …

Objective. A scintillator is a luminescent material that converts high-energy photons into
visible light and is widely used in medical imaging. Different scintillators are applied to …

We present a study on the neutron activation of a gamma-ray detector for a BNCT-SPECT
dose imaging system. The detector is based on a LaBr 3 (Ce+ Sr) scintillator crystal, coupled …

In this study, we present the preliminary imaging results obtained with a gamma module
called BeNEdiCTE, specifically designed for boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT). The …
