Effect of Uniform and Non-uniform High-z Nanoparticles Distribution in Tumor Volume on Dose Enhancement Factor During 192Ir Brachytherapy

Introduction: Irradiation of loaded tumor with high-Z nanoparticles with low energy photon of 192Ir source during brachytherapy increases absorbed dose of tumor due to increase in possibility of photoelectric phenomena. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate dose enhancement due to nanoparticles...
