Abstract
The present paper is an abridged version of a recent review article (136 references) which deals with specific methods adapted to boron imaging, or the discrimination of boron isotopes, or both, and to describing the types of physiological data that have been generated using these methods (Thellier et al., 2001). Reprints of the full article are available upon request.
