A unique approach to the microdosimetry of neutron capture therapy (NCT), which combines the high-resolution quantitative autoradiography (HRQAR) technique, and two-dimensional (2-D) Monte Carlo methods, has been developed by our group. Using this approach, actual cell morphology (ie., cell nuclei and cytoplasm structures) and microdistribution of the capture element (e.g., {sup 10}B) can be obtained; therefore, microdosimetry can be carried out without making any assumptions regarding either cell architecture or {sup 10}B distribution. This paper shows that results obtained by this 2-D approach are equivalent to the {open_quotes}traditional{close_quotes} 3-D approach.
