硼中子俘获疗法（BNCT）的计算剂量学和治疗计划技术在过去几年中取得了显著进展。由于问题的复杂性，光子放射治疗方案的计算方法并不适用于BNCT。然而，必要的方法已经开发出来，并已成功地用于研究应用和人体试验，尽管常规临床应用需要进一步提高速度。BNCT应用的计算几何可以直接从断层医学图像中构建，计算的辐射剂量分布可以很容易地以放射治疗界熟悉的格式显示。
The technology for computational dosimetry and treatment planning for Boron Neutron Capture Therapy (BNCT) has advanced significantly over the past few years. Because of the more complex nature of the problem, the computational methods that work well for treatment planning in photon radiotherapy are not applicable to BNCT. The necessary methods have, however, been developed and have been successfully employed both for research applications as well as human trials, although further improvements in speed are needed for routine clinical applications. Computational geometry for BNCT applications can be constructed directly from tomographic medical imagery and computed radiation dose distributions can be readily displayed in formats that are familiar to the radiotherapy community.
