Monte Carlo characterization of the gold nanoparticles dose enhancement and estimation of the physical interactions weight in dose enhancement mechanism

Abstract: Radiosensitization of the cancer cells by the heavy atoms of nanoparticles was the subject of some studies. But, the physical characterization to determine the weight of all interactions hasn’t been made numerically. The aim of this study was to calculate and compare the dose enhancement (DE) for different energies. The Monte Carlo simulation method was used in the current study. The influence of gold nanoparticles (GNP) size, beam quality, the GNP concentration, and dose inhomogeneity on the radiosensitizatio… Show more
