Comparison of MCNPX and EGSnrc Monte Carlo Codes in the Calculation of Nano-Scaled Absorbed Doses and Secondary Electron Spectra around Clinically Relevant Nanoparticles

Purpose: Absorbed dose enhancement due to the presence of high atomic number nanoparticles (NP)s has been estimated and modeled by Monte Carlo (MC) simulation methods. In the current study, two MC codes of MCNPX and EGSnrc codes were compared by calculation of secondary electron energy spectra and...
