A
Matlab-based computational tool was developed that helps determining tumor and
skin doses in BNCT treatments. It was especially designed for cutaneous melanoma
treatments and, among its features, it provides a guide for the location and
delineation of tumors, a visual representation of superficial dose
distributions (for both tumor and normal tissues), generates cumulative
dose-volume histograms for different volumes of interest and dose-area
histograms for skin. A description of the tool is presented, as well as
examples of its application.
