Abstract：
The voxel model of Snyder head phantom is widely used in simulation of BNCT. This paper introduces a simplified method which is based upon only four kinds of materials. The new voxel model keeps the mass conservation when the mesh size is small such as 4mm. The 4-material voxel model and 286-material voxel model with different mesh sizes of 16mm, 8mm, 4mm, are simulated respectively by MCNP Monte Carlo code. The results indicate that the 4-material voxel model can reach good accuracy. Using this method, multi-voxels are produced and simulated. Compared to the 4mm single voxel model, the multi-voxel model has good accuracy and less computational time. Finally, we recommend multi-voxel models and a reasonable number of meshes. Its computational time and accuracy have accessed the clinical BNCT requirement.
