Journal ArticleDOI

Estimation of tumour dose enhancement due to gold nanoparticles during typical radiation treatments: a preliminary Monte Carlo study.

TL;DR: This preliminary study estimated this dose enhancement by Monte Carlo calculations for several phantom test cases representing radiation treatments with the following modalities: 140 kVp x-rays, 4 and 6 MV photon beams, and 192Ir gamma rays.
Journal ArticleDOI

Estimation of microscopic dose enhancement factor around gold nanoparticles by Monte Carlo calculations

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used the Monte Carlo code EGSnrc to obtain the spectra of secondary electrons from atoms of gold approximating GNPs and molecules of water under photon irradiation of a tumor loaded with GNPs.
Journal ArticleDOI

The dosimetric feasibility of gold nanoparticle-aided radiation therapy (GNRT) via brachytherapy using low-energy gamma-/x-ray sources

TL;DR: The current results strongly suggest that GNRT can be successfully implemented via brachytherapy with low energy gamma-/x-ray sources, especially with a high dose rate (169)Yb source.
Journal ArticleDOI

Roadmap to Clinical Use of Gold Nanoparticles for Radiation Sensitization.

TL;DR: The current state of knowledge in each of the areas concerning the use of GNPs as radiosensitizers is reviewed, and the steps which will be required to advance GNP-enhanced radiation therapy from their current pre-clinical setting to clinical trials and eventual routine usage are outlined.
