A Novel Approach to Design and Evaluate BNCT Neutron Beams Combining Physical, Radiobiological, and Dosimetric Figures of Merit
SIMPLE SUMMARY: Clinical potential and safety are presented as novel criteria to evaluate neutron beams designed for boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT). The presently used figures of merit are a set of physical quantities calculated in air, related to the neutron flux, the collimation, and the spe...
