NDLI: The use of heavy water in boron neutron capture therapy of brain tumours

Copyright Year	1983
Description	Journal: Physics in Medicine & Biology A theoretical analysis is presented from which it is concluded that transient partial deuteration of body water for neutron capture therapy would significantly enhance radiation produced by the neutron-boron reaction at the deep margins of brain tumours and reduce effective gamma radiation to normal brain tissues by 50% or more. The analysis deals only with totally thermalised incident neutrons.
