Influence of Gold Nanoparticle Shape and Single-Cell Localization on Energy Deposition Efficiency and Irradiation Specificity in Photon Radiotherapy
Figure 8
Influence of spherical AuNP intracellular localization. Graphs show the dependence of the fraction of deposited energy that got absorbed in the nanoparticles δinp on the photon beam energy when nanoparticle concentration and diameter were, respectively, (a) 20 (mg Au)/(g H2O) and 10 nm, (b) 20 (mg Au)/(g H2O) and 50 nm, and (c) 7 (mg Au)/(g H2O) and 10 nm. Graphs of various colors pertain to the five different nanoparticle localizations.
