Resumo: This paper introduces a new technique for radiotherapy based on the coupling of two distinct methods: the brachytherapy provided by discrete sources of neutrons and photons placed in intracavitary regions of patient, and the Boron Neutron Capture Therapy (BNCT). With the goal of studying the performance of the coupled treatment, computational evaluations are proposed to quantify the absorbed dosages. Analysis of possible neutrons sources, such as discret neutron sources, nuclear reator, linear acelerators - LINACs, and special devices for cold neutrons are presented in order to verify the feasibility of the instalation of neutron generators in hospitais.

Com o objetivo de estudar a “performance” do tratamento acoplado, avaliações computacionais são propostas para quantificar as doses absorvidas. Análises de possíveis fontes geradoras de nêutrons, a saber: fontes mistas discretas, reatores nucleares, aceleradores lineares tipo LINAC e dispositivos de nêutrons frios, são apresentadas com o intuito de verificar a viabilidade técnica de instalação e uso da terapia de nêutrons em hospitais.INCA2022-09-30info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionArtigos, Avaliado pelos paresapplication/pdfhttps://rbc.inca.gov.br/index.php/revista/article/view/301510.32635/2176-9745.RBC.1996v42n3.3015Revista Brasileira de Cancerologia; Vol. 42 No. 3 (1996): July/Aug./Sept.; 151-160Revista Brasileira de Cancerologia; Vol. 42 Núm. 3 (1996): jul./ago./sept.; 151-160Revista Brasileira de Cancerologia; v. 42 n. 3 (1996): jul./ago./set.; 151-1602176-9745reponame:Revista Brasileira de Cancerologia (Online)instname:Instituto Nacional de Câncer José Alencar Gomes da Silva (INCA)instacron:INCAporhttps://rbc.inca.gov.br/index.php/revista/article/view/3015/1876https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessChaves, Iara F.
