Photon activated therapy (PAT) using monochromatic Synchrotron x-rays and iron oxide nanoparticles in a mouse tumor model: feasibility study of PAT for the treatment of superficial malignancy
<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>X-rays are known to interact with metallic nanoparticles, producing photoelectric species as radiosensitizing effects, and have been exploited <it>in vivo</it> mainly with gold nanoparticles. The purpose of this study was...
