China's independent completion of the first hospital in neutron irradiation apparatus

Learned from the national nuclear co., China's first used in the treatment of malignant neoplasm of small medical private neutron irradiation is and demonstration equipment, recently achieving design rating. Experts said that the country in neutron capture therapy areas and catching up with international standards to create a unique platform. According to academician yongmao, hospital neutron irradiation is China's nuclear reactor engineering experts, experts in neurological surgery, radiation protection experts research and development results. The principle of operation is to first put a boron compounds for injection into the human body through the blood circulation to the brain, when a neutron beam irradiated patients tumor, neutron nuclear reaction occurs with it, you can kill a certain range of tumor cells, so as to achieve therapeutic purposes. The projects have all independent intellectual property rights in China's package of design, their original designs for national invention patent licensing. Yongmao said the hospital neutron irradiation demonstration plant completed, will make our micro reactor technology and boron neutron capture therapy. Next, many hospitals will China Zhongyuan Engineering Co., Ltd., the Chinese Institute of Atomic Energy, joint studies, aiming for a brain tumor and other malignant tumors on a certain cure taken substantial steps in.
