Development of a real-time boron imaging method for BNCT using CdTe-DSD at the JRR-3
Boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) is a neutron-based cancer treatment requiring a real-time 10B dose monitor to optimize effectiveness. We report using of the cadmium telluride double-sided strip detector (CdTe-DSD), distinguished by its high-energy resolution in full width at half maximum (FWHM) of 7.3 keV at 511 keV and a spatial resolution of for accurate boron imaging. Employing the CdTe-DSD with a pinhole collimator, our experiment at Japan Research Reactor No. 3 (JRR-3) evaluated the 10B distribution in a solid sample containing a 10B concentration of 0.3 mg during neutron exposure. Although measuring the 10B signal is significantly affected by the background from the -rays of 113Cd, we successfully obtained a circular projection image with a diameter of 11.5 mm, revealing the precise location of 10B, with a counting rate of 0.115 cps and SNR of approximately 25.7%. The results reveal the CdTe-DSD’s capability to enhance BNCT by providing detailed insights into the 10B distribution within the sample with high fidelity.
期刊介绍:
Applied Radiation and Isotopes provides a high quality medium for the publication of substantial, original and scientific and technological papers on the development and peaceful application of nuclear, radiation and radionuclide techniques in chemistry, physics, biochemistry, biology, medicine, security, engineering and in the earth, planetary and environmental sciences, all including dosimetry. Nuclear techniques are defined in the broadest sense and both experimental and theoretical papers are welcome. They include the development and use of α- and β-particles, X-rays and γ-rays, neutrons and other nuclear particles and radiations from all sources, including radionuclides, synchrotron sources, cyclotrons and reactors and from the natural environment.
The journal aims to publish papers with significance to an international audience, containing substantial novelty and scientific impact. The Editors reserve the rights to reject, with or without external review, papers that do not meet these criteria.
Papers dealing with radiation processing, i.e., where radiation is used to bring about a biological, chemical or physical change in a material, should be directed to our sister journal Radiation Physics and Chemistry.
