Abstract
As a prelude to establishing, (1) criteria for selection of Boron Neutron Capture Therapy (BNCT) epithermal beam clinical trial patients and (2) treatment planning strategies, posttreatment evaluations of dose distributions in several BNCT patients are being done using the Idaho National Engineering Laboratory (INEL) BNCT Program’s patient treatment planning software (bnct_edit and rtt_MC)1,2
