Detailed dosimetry calculation for in-vitro experiments and its impact on clinical BNCT.

Purpose: Boron Neutron Capture Therapy (BNCT) is a form of hadrontherapy based on the selective damage caused by the products of neutron capture in B to tumour cells. BNCT dosimetry strongly depends on the parameters of the dose calculation models derived from radiobiological experiments. This works aims at determining an adequate dosimetry for in-vitro experiments involving irradiation of monolayer-cultured cells with photons and BNCT and assessing its impact on clinical settings.
