Gold nanoparticle DNA damage in radiotherapy: A Monte Carlo study
This study investigated the DNA damage due to the dose enhancement of using gold nanoparticles (GNPs) as a radiation sensitizer in radiotherapy. Nanodosimetry of a photon irradiated GNP was performed with Monte Carlo simulations using Geant4-DNA (ver. 10.2) in the nanometer scale. In the simulation...
