Calculation of physical dose distributions for the head phantom of BNCT
Based on the modified Synder geometry and the material data given by ICRU-46
we have calculated
using Monte Carlo method
the depth dose curves of the head phantom of BNCT. The calculation is performed using individual monoenergetic and monodirectional beams of 0.0253eV
1keV
2keV
10keV
100keV and 1MeV neutrons
and 0.2
0.5
1
2
5 and 10 MeV photons. And a generic epithermal neutron beam with 1% fast neutron (10keV -2MeV) contamination and 10% thermal neutron (ImeV - 0.5eV) contamination is also employed. The results show an agreement accordance with the relative reference
which verify our treatment programming software ofBNCT.
