Times Cited Count:11 Percentile:58.91(Chemistry, Inorganic & Nuclear)To carry out the BNCT clinical trials based on accurate dosimetry of several absorbed doses given to a patient, we have developed JCDS which can determine the absorbed doses by numerical simulation. The aim of this study is to improve the accuracy of the BNCT dosimetry efficiently. We have developed the multi-voxel calculation method reconstructing the original voxel model by combining of several voxel cell sizes such as in 5mm, 10mm and 20mm voxel cell. To verify the accuracy of the multi-voxel method, the calculation results were compared with the phantom experimental data. These results proved that the multi-voxel calculation enables JCDS to more accurately estimate the absorbed doses to a patient by efficient calculations.

Dose measurements in a patient's brain undergoing intraoperative BNCT (IOBNCT) were compared with calculations by a JAERI computational dosimetry system (JCDS). The maximum thermal neutron flux on the brain surface from the postirradiation measurement averaged 2.330.37(

cm
s
) and the vascular boron dose averaged 11.4
1.2 (9.6-12.7) Gy. Using JCDS, the maximum thermal neutron flux in the irradiated volume averaged 2.21
0.33(
10
cm
s
), while the target vascular dose averaged 5.7 Gy and varied from 3.5 to 7.8 Gy. As such, in the dose planning for intra-operative irradiation, practical use of JCDS is recommended for uniform volume-dose control of postsurgical brain in IOBNCT.
