Imaging dose of cone-beam computed tomography in nanoparticle-enhanced image-guided radiotherapy: A Monte Carlo phantom study

Using kilovoltage cone-beam computed tomography (kV-CBCT) and heavy-atom radiosensitizers in image-guided radiotherapy (IGRT) can provide numerous benefits, such as image contrast enhancement in radiation dose delivery. However, the increased use of kV-CBCT for daily imaging procedures may inevitabl...
