Treatment Planning for Neutron Capture Therapy of Glioblastoma Multiforme Using an Epithermal Neutron Beam from the Mitr-II Research Reactor and Monte Carlo Simulation

This paper describes the practical implementation of treatment planning procedures we have developed for the proposed clinical trial of neutron capture therapy (NCT) at NEMC and MIT in the Fall of 1991. Proper treatment planning for any form of radiation therapy is beneficial not only for the safety and optimal management of the patient, but can provide a valuable tool for performing radiological/pathological correlation in those patients who ultimately fail NCT.
