摘要：
In this paper, the potential effect of enhancing BNCT near the surface of the target volume by means of the addition of the sulfur isotope S-33 is studied. By means of Monte Carlo simulations, it is found a noticeable enhancement effect (local increase of the dose at the isotope site) when it is present at local concentrations that in principle can be reached by means of sulfur nanoparticles. A neutron beam with a high component of 13.5 keV would be required to produce this effect. Some open problems are discussed. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
