The thermal neutron flux in a fast neutron therapy treatment unit is measured by a small ionization chamber coated inside with boron (10B). These measurements are compared with calculations of the thermal neutron flux made by a pencil beam algorithm, which can be used as a first approximation for treatment therapy planning. The additional dose for boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) as a boost in a 14 MeV neutron generator is calculated from the measured thermal neutron flux.
在快中子治疗设备中，热中子通量通过内部涂有硼（¹⁰B）的小型电离室进行测量。这些测量结果与采用笔形束算法计算得到的热中子通量进行比较，该算法可作为治疗计划的初步近似方法。根据测量得到的热中子通量，计算了作为14兆电子伏中子发生器增强剂量的硼中子俘获疗法（BNCT）的附加剂量。
