TREATMENT PLANNING SYSTEM FOR BORON NEUTRON CAPTURE THERAPY (BNCT), BNCT SYSTEM, AND BNCT

摘要

This treatment planning system for BNCT comprises a storage means which stores an ideal patient position that is ideal for treatment, an assumed average boron concentration during treatment, at least one or more assumed patient positions specific to each patient that are assumed to be likely to be used by the patient during treatment, and an applied dose at an assumed patient position calculated by a calculation means which calculates the applied dose at each assumed patient position. During the actual treatment, when a signal of patient position fluctuation is received from a patient position measurement system, the treatment planning system for BNCT selects the assumed patient position closest to the patient position, and transmits along with the assumed patient position, the applied dose at the assumed patient position to a neutron irradiation control system in the BNCT system.
