ABSTRACT
This study aims to establish phantom-solution systems suitable for estimating doses in boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT). The phantom containing three typical solutions, H3BO3, LiOH, and Gd(NO3)3·6H2O with different concentrations and nuclide abundances have been studied since the nuclides 10B, 6Li, and 157Gd are capable of absorbing thermal neutrons. The results indicate that all three phantom-solution systems, with suitable concentrations and nuclide abundances, effectively distinguish between the nitrogen dose and the hydrogen dose for dose measurement in BNCT.
