Recent progress in Monte Carlo simulation on gold nanoparticle radiosensitization
Gold nanoparticles (GNPs) are proven effective heavy-atom radiosensitizers to produce imaging contrast and dose enhancement in radiotherapy. To understand the physical and biological effect of adding GNPs to the tumour cells, Monte Carlo simulation based on particle tracking and transport, is employ...
