Utilizing neutron generators in boron neutron capture therapy

Neutron capture therapy (NCT) is a radiotherapeutic technique that is designed to utilize the neutron capture reaction and damage the tumor cells through the energy release from the reaction. Nuclear reactors are typically utilized in this therapy because of the high neutron fluence rate that can be...
