Abstract

Quantitative neutron capture radiography (QNCR) is an imaging method to visualize the boron contents in biological samples such as whole body cryosections of small mammalians as well as cellcultures. One of the main problems of QNCR is calibration. In this paper an equation for the calibration curve for determination of boron in tissue by QNCR is developed. A comparison of the experimental curves with those obtained by calculations are given.
