Radiobiology of normal rat lung in Boron Neutron Capture Therapy
… Capture Therapy (BNCT) is a binary cancer radiation therapy that utilizes biochemical tumor cell targeting and provides a mixed field of high and low Linear Energy Transfer (LET) radiation with differing biological effectiveness. This project investigated the radiobiology of normal rat lung in …

Accelerator-Based Neutron Branchytherapy
The feasibility of a new modality of radiation therapy, Accelerator-Based Neutron Brachytherapy (ABNBT), has been demonstrated through simulations and experimental work. The candidate nuclear reactions investigated are 9Be(d,n)'OB, 9Be(p,n)9B, and 7Li(p,n)7Be, with charged particle beam energies of …

Gamma and neutron dose profiles near a Cf-252 brachytherapy source
A new generation of medical grade Cf-252 sources was developed in 2002 at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL). The combination of small size and large activity of these Cf-252 sources makes them suitable to be used with the conventional high-dose-rate (HDR) remote afterloading systems for …
