AI Technical Summary
The prior art has problems with uniform whole body irradiation, high mortality rate and inability to be applied to the in situ model of mouse brain tumors in mouse neutron irradiation experiments, especially the position of the eyeball close to the brain cannot be blocked, resulting in increased blindness and mortality in mice.
A mouse brain tumor irradiation experimental mold was designed, including an irradiation support and a mouse placement box. By laying an annular shielding layer on the top plate and laying a shielding layer on the outer surface of the mouse placement box, the parts outside the head of the mouse are shielded to ensure that the neutron beam only irradiates the target position of the mouse brain tumor.
A simultaneous irradiation experiment was carried out on multiple mice, which reduced the irradiation light in the non-irradiated areas of the mice, avoided blindness in mice, and significantly reduced the mortality rate of irradiation in mice.

BNCT is an emerging radiotherapy method. A series of studies in the field of BNCT are inseparable from mice, the most commonly used experimental animals. However, there is currently no mature method for neutron irradiation of mice. Most researchers use acrylic plates to hang mice for irradiation.
