Abstract
As a prelude to establishing, (1) criteria for selection of Boron Neutron Capture Therapy (BNCT) epithermal beam clinical trial patients and (2) treatment planning strategies, post-treatment evaluations of dose distributions in several BNCT patients are being done using the Idaho National Engineering Laboratory (INEL) BNCT Program's patient treatment planning software (bnct-edit and rtt-MC). The objectives of this work are: (i) calculate the dose delivered to the BNCT treated patients (ii) calculate the possible dose distribution for the patients using the proposed Georgia Institute of Technology's reactor epithermal beam (iii) correlate calculated dose with effect © Plenum Press
