    Evaluation of dose point kernel rescaling methods for nanoscale dose estimation around gold nanoparticles using Geant4 Monte Carlo simulations

    The absence of proper nanoscale experimental techniques to investigate the dose-enhancing properties of gold nanoparticles (GNPs) interacting with radiation has prompted the development of various Monte Carlo ...

    Quantitative imaging of gold nanoparticle distribution in a tumor-bearing mouse using benchtop x-ray fluorescence computed tomography

    X-ray fluorescence computed tomography (XFCT) is a technique that can identify, quantify and locate elements within objects by detecting x-ray fluorescence (characteristic x-rays) stimulated by an excitation s...
