Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of shielding optimization, and in particular to a neutron moderation and collimation shielding optimization method based on BNCT. Background Art
[0002] The field of shielding optimization technology mainly involves the development and improvement of methods and materials for protecting organisms from harmful radiation. The core of shielding technology lies in the selection and design of suitable materials and structural layouts to absorb or reflect radiation energy through materials, thereby reducing the potential harm of radiation to personnel and equipment. The key purpose of shielding optimization is to enhance shielding efficiency, reduce radiation dose, and ensure radiation safety. The technology is widely used in the fields of medicine, industry and research, especially in the storage, transportation and use of radioactive materials.
[0003] Among them, the optimization of neutron moderation and collimation shielding based on BNCT involves the development of shielding solutions for the moderation and collimation technology of neutron sources with the help of the needs of boron neutron capture therapy. The optimization aims to improve the treatment effect while minimizing the radiation exposure to surrounding normal tissues. By adjusting the shielding material and structure, the neutron beam can be controlled more accurately, making it more efficient and safer when reaching the treatment area. The technology not only improves the treatment ability of BNCT, but also enhances its feasibility and safety in clinical practice.

For example, in medical radiation environments, the lack of optimization of shielding materials and structures for specific radiation sources can lead to over-design or insufficient shielding, affecting treatment effects or increasing unnecessary costs. Traditional methods ignore subsequent maintenance costs and material life assessments, which will increase long-term operating costs. Failure to effectively adapt to radiation safety hazards or increased treatment costs caused by precise treatment directly affects the quality and economic benefits of medical services.
