1. Simulating the dose enhancement effects of platinum nanoparticles in a spherical geometry with Monte Carlo calculations

Creator:: Mathews, Joshua A.
Abstract:: Background: The use of high-Z nanoparticles as radiation dose enhancers has been researched thoroughly over the past decade. High-Z nanoparticles introduced to a medium increase the probability of photoelectric absorption. This leads to an increase in the production of short range characteristic and Auger electrons and, thus, local radiation dose....
