Tissue Absorbed Dose from a Gadolinium Layer Irradiated with Neutrons

Gadolinium concentration analysis in brain phantom by X-ray fluorescence

“…In recent years the stable element Gd has received a lot of attention in research with regards to NCT, which is a promising radiation therapy for brain cancer treatment [11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25]. In this type of treatment, a non-radioactive compound that contains Gd, an element with a high thermal neutron absorption cross section for neutron reactions, is introduced into the patient.…”
