Abstract: This study aims to establish phantom-solution systems suitable for estimating doses in boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT). The phantom containing three typical solutions, H <subscript>3</subscript> BO <subscript>3</subscript> , LiOH, and Gd(NO₃)₃·6H₂O with different concentrations and nuclide abundances have been studied since the nuclides <superscript>10</superscript> B, <superscript>6</superscript> Li, and <superscript>157</superscript> Gd are capable of absorbing thermal neutrons. The results indicate that all three phantom-solution systems, with suitable concentrations and nuclide abundances, effectively distinguish between the nitrogen dose and the hydrogen dose for dose measurement in BNCT.<br />Competing Interests: Declaration of competing interest The authors of this study are responsible for its content. All authors declare that they have no competing interests. This systematic review involved only the extraction of data from other published studies, thus, there is no need for patients’ consent and ethics committee approval was not necessary.<br /> (Copyright © 2024 Elsevier Ltd.
