Gold nanoparticle dose enhancement and plasma induced cellular damage
Targeting the dose delivered to cancer cells while minimizing damage to sur- rounding healthy tissue is the primary objective of radiotherapy. To achieve this multiple beams of X-rays with MeV energies are collimated to match the shape of a target volume, improving the contrast ratio between the dos...
