Abstract
Quantitative neutron capture radiography (QNCR) is an imaging method to vis ualize the boron contents in biological samples such as whole body cryosect ions of small mammalians as well as cell cultures. One of the main problems of QNCR is calibration. In this paper an equation for the calibration curv e for determination of boron in tissue by QNCR is developed. A comparison o f the experimental curves with those obtained by calculations are given. (C ) 1999 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
