Description:
The ACPSEM Queensland Branch is pleased to present a two-part webinar series exploring Boron Neutron Capture Therapy, a highly specialised and rapidly evolving area of radiation medicine.
Delivered by internationally recognised expert Dr Chad Lee, these sessions will provide valuable insights into the clinical, physical and engineering principles underpinning this emerging treatment modality. Boron Neutron Capture Therapy is an emerging cancer treatment technology attracting growing international interest and this is a unique opportunity to learn from one of the field's leading experts.
This session explores the evolution of neutron production, from early reactor-based approaches to modern accelerator-based systems, and examines the key technologies enabling Boron Neutron Capture Therapy (BNCT). Participants will gain an overview of the physical and engineering principles that support the safe and effective delivery of this emerging treatment modality.
Topics include:
- History and evolution of neutron production
- Reactor-based and accelerator-based BNCT systems
- Beam shaping assemblies
- Radioactivation considerations
- Radiation shielding and safety
- Facility design and infrastructure requirements
- Emerging technologies and future developments in BNCT
