Investigation of the gold nanoparticles effects on the prostate dose distribution in brachytherapy: gel dosimetry and Monte Carlo method

PURPOSE: In this work, gold nanoparticles (GNPs) were embedded in the MAGIC-f polymer gel irradiated with the (192)Ir brachytherapy sources. MATERIAL AND METHODS: At the first plexiglas phantom was made as the human pelvis. The GNPs were synthesized with 15 nm in diameter and 0.1 mM (0.0197 mg/ml) i...
