Photon iso-effective dose calculator
For the moment, this webapp allows you to calculate photon iso-effective doses for head and neck tumors treated with BNCT. The radiobiological parameters of the model are based on in-vivo tumor control data. Additional models will be added in the near future. The formalism of the calculation is described in the following publications:
-
Photon iso-effective dose for cancer treatment with mixed field radiation based on dose–response assessment from human and an animal model: clinical application to boron neutron capture therapy for head and neck cancer
(González et al. 2017)
-
The Photon-Isoeffective Dose in Boron Neutron Capture Therapy
(González & Santa Cruz 2012)
An excel table listing the four main absorbed dose rate components in BNCT is needed for calculations. Column headers are not allowed in the table. The information must be organized as follows:
| Boron dose rate [Gy/min.ppm] | Thermal dose rate [Gy/min] | Fast dose rate [Gy/min] | Gamma dose rate [Gy/min] |
|---|
