Boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) is a selective biological targeted nuclide technique for cancer therapy. It has the following attractive features: good targeting, high effectiveness, and causes slight damage to surrounding healthy tissue compared with other traditional methods. It has been considered as one of the promising methods for the treatment of various cancers. Measuring 10B concentrations is vital for BNCT. However, the existing technology and equipment cannot satisfy the real-time and accurate measurement requirements, and more efficient methods are in demand. The development of methods and imaging applied in BNCT to help measure boron concentration is described in this review.
