Development of a gamma ray telescope for online synovial dosimetry in boron neutron capture synovectomy
Boron Neutron Capture Synovectomy (BNCS) is a novel application of the ¹⁰B(n,α) reaction for potential treatment of rheumatoid arthritis. During BNCS clinical trials, real-time knowledge of boron dose delivered to the synovium is necessary so that the remaining irradiation time can be determined. A …

Glass microspheres for medical applications
… radiation delivery vehicles for the radiation synovectomy treatment of rheumatoid arthritis. Once injected into a diseased joint, the microspheres deliver a potent dose of radiation to the diseased tissue, while a non-uniform chemical reaction converts the glass into an amorphous, porous, …

In vivo boron-10 analysis for the pre-screening of compounds for BNCS
… of compounds for Boron Neutron Capture Synovectomy (BNCS). Three approaches were investigated: emission computed tomography (ECT), transmission computed tomography (TCT) and in vivo prompt gamma neutron activation analysis (IVPGNAA). Each was first studied using simulation-generated …
