Ionizing radiation is a common tool in medical procedures. Monte Carlo (MC) techniques are
widely used when dosimetry is the matter of investigation. The scientific community has …

During exposure to ionizing radiation, sub-lethal damage repair (SLDR) competes with DNA
damage induction in cultured cells. By virtue of SLDR, cell survival increases with decrease …

DNA strand breaks are induced in cells mainly composed of liquid water along ionizing
radiation tracks. For estimating DNA strand break yields, track structures for electrons in …

To calculate the yield of direct DNA damage induced by low energy electrons using Monte
Carlo generated microdosimetric spectra at the nanometer scale and examine the influence …

The spatial distribution of energy deposition events is an essential aspect in the
determination of the radiobiological effects of ionizing radiation at the cellular level …

High-Z nanoparticles incorporated in tumors have great potential to enhance radiotherapy
treatments by increasing the absorbed radiation dose in the vicinity of the nanoparticle …

To study the molecular damage induced in the form of single-strand and double-strand
breaks by ionizing radiation at the DNA level, the Geant4-DNA Monte Carlo simulation code …

Purpose Radioisotopes such as 75 Se, 169 Yb, and 153 Gd have photon energy spectra
and half-lives that make them excellent candidates as alternatives to 192 Ir for high-dose …

Purpose There is an increasing interest in calculating linear energy transfer (LET)
distributions for proton therapy treatments in order to assess the influence of this quantity in …
