Abstract
The isotope 157Gd has been evaluated at the University of Missouri- Columbia (MU) as an alternative neutron capture therapy (NCT) agent to 10B The studies were directed to the following three major portions: the evaluation of Gd Neutron Capture Therapy (GdNCT), the combination of NCT and brachytherapy and the development of neutron autoradiography for Gd.
