Abstract
Purpose: The use of high-Z nano-particles (NP) increases the dose in the nearby volume by absorbing more photons of keV energy. The resulting electrons deposit the dose locally. Additionally, Auger electrons are generated. In combination with tumor specific agents such a dose deposition mechanism could provide an efficient methodology to increase dose to microscopic disease. To quantify dose enhancement and spectral changes in the vicinity of...
