Finds internal exposure has significant effects in boron neutron capture therapy, suggesting careful planning is essential.
I is produced only in the thyroid, its effect was small, depending on the irradiated part. The calculated effective dose was one order of magnitude lower than that of the external exposure. Therefore, internal exposure is not negligible for exposure dose estimation in BNCT, and it is necessary to consider the irradiation component in treatment planning to avoid exposure to certain critical organs.
