The calculated results showed that the target cooling system does not affect significantly the depth dose distribution in a phantom, and the optimized moderator assembly can provide the depth dose distribution better than that in a presently-available reactor-based neutron fields. This study also showed that it is important to optimize the thickness and/or the configuration of the collimator for each patient, because the thickness of the collimator greatly influences the depth dose distribution and absorbed dose to normal organs., The 4th Japan-Korea Joint Meeting on Medical Physics and The 5th Asia-Oceania Congress of Medical Physics}, title = {Optimization of Moderator Assembly for Cyclotron-Based BNCT Taking Account of Target Structure}, year = {2005} }
