Abstract
One of the major problems associated with the successful clinical implementation of boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT), is the ability to determine boron-10 concentrations in the tumor and the surrounding tissue in the treated patient, during and following the infusion of the BNCT agents. In this chapter we describe the results of pilot experiments conducted in an animal model, aimed at evaluating the potential of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) to perform this task, and extrapolate from these results to the expected performance in human patients.
