Abstract
The resurgence of interest in neutron capture therapy, which uses boron-10 labelled compounds and neutron irradiation as a technique for the treatment of cancer, has been accompanied by the application of a new generation of techniques for the analysis and imaging of boron in biological matrices. In this review, a description is given of the requirements for boron neutron capture agents and the achievements to date of the analytical techniques.
