SU‐GG‐J‐125: Monte Carlo Simulation of Dose Enhancement in Tumors Using Gold Nanoparticles

Purpose: In the radiation oncology setting, high atomic number (Z) nanoparticles may provide a local dose enhancement in tumors when combined with low energy x‐rays. At energies near the K‐shell edges of these materials, the mass energy absorption coefficient (μen/ρ) may be significantly higher than...
