Influence of Gold Nanoparticle Shape and Single-Cell Localization on Energy Deposition Efficiency and Irradiation Specificity in Photon Radiotherapy

Figure 3

Illustration of three (out of the five investigated) subcellular AuNP localizations: (a) inside the central sphere, (b) at the sphere’s outer surface, and (c) around the sphere. The two remaining cases (with NPs attached to the cube’s inner surface and the other with no localization) were not suitable for clear graphical representation.
