The linac-base neutron source “iBNCT” developed by the Tsukuba team has begun to generate a large intensity of neutrons. To confirm the applicability of the device to BNCT, several characteristic measurements have been implemented. In a water phantom experiment, when the accelerator was operated with an average current of 1.4 mA, the maximum thermal neutron flux was approximately 7.8 × 10⁸ (n/cm²/s). Results demonstrate the stability of the linac over time, showing its promising potential for future patient treatment.

用于硼中子俘获疗法的基于直线加速器的中子源的中子束特性评估。

筑波团队开发的直线加速器基中子源“iBNCT”已经开始产生大强度的中子。为了确认该设备对 BNCT 的适用性，已经实施了多项特性测量。在水体模型实验中，当加速器以 1.4 mA 的平均电流运行时，最大热中子通量约为 7.8 × 10 ⁸ (n/cm ² /s)。结果证明了直线加速器随时间推移的稳定性，显示了其对未来患者治疗的有希望的潜力。
