We review radiation transport and clinical beam modelling for gold nanoparticle dose-
enhanced radiotherapy using X-rays. We focus on the nanoscale radiation transport and its …

Monte Carlo (MC) simulations play an important role in radiotherapy, especially as a method
to evaluate physical properties that are either impossible or difficult to measure. For …

Abstract The Monte Carlo code PENELOPE has been used to simulate photon flux from the
Leksell Gamma Knife®, a precision method for treating intracranial lesions. Radiation from a …

The absence of electronic equilibrium in the vicinity of bone-tissue or air-tissue
heterogeneity in the head can misrepresent deposited dose with treatment planning …

Purpose: The authors present a stochastic framework for the assessment of cell survival in
gold nanoparticle radiotherapy. Methods: The authors derive the equations for the effective …

In this work we have experimentally studied the impact of bentonite clay on the process of
radiation-induced copper corrosion in anoxic water. The motivation for this is to further …

Purpose: Bombarding high‐Z material with x‐ray radiation releases Auger electrons and
Coster–Kronig electrons, along with deeper penetrating fluorescent x‐rays and …

Objectives We examine the contrast agent Lipiodol effect on the relative biological
effectiveness (RBE) values for flattening filter free (FFF) and flattening filter (FF) beams of 6 …

In the management of early breast cancer, a partial breast irradiation technique called
MammoSite®(Proxima Therapeutic Inc., Alpharetta, GA) has been advocated in recent …

Nanoporous gold was used as a high specific surface material to describe the water
radiolysis in the vicinity of metal surfaces. Porous gold monoliths were prepared by …
