Abstract

Boron Neutron Capture Therapy is an innovative and highly selective treatment against cancer. Nowadays in vivo boron dosimetry is an important issue to carry out such therapy in clinical environments. In this work, we study the performance of a Compton camera detector based on a 3D CZT crystal for online dosimetry in BNCT using Monte Carlo simulations and the maximum likelihood expectation maximization method for tomography reconstruction.
