Abstract EN
In this investigation, neutron capture therapy (NCT) through high energy neutrons using Monte Carlo method has been studied.
In this study a new method of NCT for a sample liver phantom has been defined, and interaction of 12 MeV neutrons with a multilayer spherical phantom is considered.
In order to reach the desirable energy range of neutrons in accord with required energy in absence of eligible clinical neutron source for NCT, this model of phantom might be utilized.
The neutron flux and the deposited dose in the all components and different layers of the mentioned phantom are computed by Monte Carlo simulation.
The results of Monte Carlo method are compared with analytical method results so that by using a computer program in Turbo-Pascal programming, the deposited dose in the liver phantom has been computed.
