A conducting plastic simulating brain tissue

摘要
En 中文
A new conducting plastic has been composed which accurately simulates the photon and neutron absorption properties of brain tissue. This tissue-equivalent (TE) plastic was formulated to match the hydrogen and nitrogen constituents recommended by ICRU Report #44 for brain tissue. Its development was initiated by the inability of muscle tissue-equivalent plastic to closely approximate brain tissue with respect to low-energy neutron interactions. This new plastic is particularly useful as an electrode in TE dosimetry devices for boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT), which utilizes low-energy neutrons for radiotherapy of the brain, Absorbed dose measurements in a clinical BNCT beam using a proportional counter constructed from this TE plastic show good agreement with Monte Carlo calculations.
