Biological modeling of gadolinium-based nanoparticles radio-enhancement for kilovoltage photons: a Monte Carlo study

Abstract Background Gadolinium-based nanoparticles (GdNPs) are clinically used agents to increase the radiosensitivity of tumor cells. However, studies on the mechanisms and biological modeling of GdNP radio-enhancement are still preliminary. This study aims to investigate the mechanism of radio-enh...
