A Monte Carlo study on dose enhancement and photon contamination production by various nanoparticles in electron mode of a medical linac

The aim of this study is the evaluation of electron dose enhancement and photon contamination production by various nanoparticles in the electron mode of a medical linac. MCNPX Monte Carlo code was used for simulation of Siemens Primus linac as well as a phantom and a tumor loaded with nanoparticles...
