Resumen:
For the prediction of decay concentration profiles of the p-boronophenylalanine (BPA) in bloodduring BNCT treatment a method is suggested based on Kohonen neural networks. The results of amodel trained with the concentration profiles from the literature are described.The prediction of the model was validated by the leave-one-out method. Its robustness shows that itis mostly independent on small variations. The ability to fit retrospective experimental data shows anuncertainty lower than the two compartment model used previously.
