Abstract
Boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) is a selective biological targeted nuclide technique for cancer therapy. It has the following attractive features: good targeting, high effectiveness, and causes slight damage to surrounding healthy tissue compared with other traditional methods. It has been considered as one of the promising methods for the treatment of various cancers. Measuring 10B concentrations is vital for BNCT. However, the existing technology and equipment cannot satisfy the real-time and accurate measurement requirements, and more efficient methods are in demand. The development of methods and imaging applied in BNCT to help measure boron concentration is described in this review.

Abstract
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the prompt gamma ray imaging technique according to the clinical boron concentration range during proton boron fusion therapy (PBFT). To acquire a prompt gamma ray image from 32 projections, we simulated four head single photon emission computed tomography and a proton beam nozzle using a Monte Carlo simulation. We used modified ordered subset expectation maximization reconstruction algorithm with a graphic processing unit for fast image acquisition. Boron concentration was set as 20 to 100 μg at intervals of 20 μg. For quantitative analysis of the prompt gamma ray image, we acquired an image profile drawn through two boron uptake regions (BURs) and calculated the contrast value, signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), and difference between the physical target volume and volume of the prompt gamma ray image. The relative counts of prompt gamma rays were noticeably increased with increasing boron concentration. Although the intensities on the image profiles showed a similar tendency according to the boron concentration, the SNR and contrast value were improved with increasing boron concentration. This study suggests that a tumor monitoring technique using prompt gamma ray detection can be clinically applicable even if the boron concentration is relatively low.
