为了建立硼中子俘获疗法（BNCT），筑波大学正在开发治疗设备和BNCT所需的外围设备，例如治疗计划系统。我们正在开发一种新的基于蒙特卡罗多模式的治疗计划系统（开发代码：Tsukuba Plan）。除了 BNCT 之外，筑波计划还允许在质子治疗、X 射线治疗和重离子治疗中进行剂量估计，因为该系统采用 PHITS 作为蒙特卡罗剂量计算引擎。关于BNCT，系统的多项验证正在实际使用中进行。验证结果表明，筑波计划可以准确估算热中子通量和伽马射线剂量，作为BNCT剂量学的基本辐射。除了筑波计划在 BNCT 中的实际应用外，我们还在研究其在其他放射治疗中的应用。
To establish boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT), the University of Tsukuba is developing a treatment device and peripheral devices required in BNCT, such as a treatment planning system. We are developing a new multimodal Monte Carlo based treatment planning system (developing code: Tsukuba Plan). Tsukuba Plan allows for dose estimation in proton therapy, X-ray therapy and heavy ion therapy in addition to BNCT because the system employs PHITS as the Monte Carlo dose calculation engine. Regarding BNCT, several verifications of the system are being carried out for its practical usage. The verification results demonstrate that Tsukuba Plan allows for accurate estimation of thermal neutron flux and gamma-ray dose as fundamental radiations of dosimetry in BNCT. In addition to the practical use of Tsukuba Plan in BNCT, we are investigating its application to other radiation therapies.
