A Comprehensive Analysis of Radiosensitization Properties of Metallic Nanoparticles in Brachytherapy of Gastric Adenocarcinoma by I-125 Seed: A Simulation Study by MCNPX and MCNP6 Codes

A Comprehensive Analysis of Radiosensitization Properties of Metallic Nanoparticles in Brachytherapy of Gastric Adenocarcinoma by I-125 Seed: A Simulation Study by MCNPX and MCNP6 Codes

<b>Purpose</b>: In the current study, we aimed to look into the macroscopic and microscopic dose enhancement effect of metallic nanoparticles in interstitial brachytherapy of gastric adenocarcinoma by Iodine-125 source using a nano-lattice model in MCNPX (2.7) and MCNP6.1 codes. <b>...
