Résumé
The convolution/superposition (C/S) method originally designed for photon dose calculation was first applied for developing a treatment planning system for boron neutron capture therapy. The original concept of TEGMA (total energy generated per unit mass) was proposed to represent distinctive dose components from neutron reactions with the elements in the patient's tissue. First, neutron fluence distributions in a homogeneous brain phantom irradiated with an energy-groupwise pencil beam of 2.5 × 2.5 mm
