Emerging radiotherapy treatments including targeted particle therapy, hadron therapy or
radiosensitisation of cells by high-Z nanoparticles demand the theoretical determination of …

Cataracts are one of the leading causes of blindness, with an estimated 95 million people
affected worldwide. A hallmark of cataract development is lens opacification, typically …

Purpose: Investigation of increased radiation dose deposition due to gold nanoparticles
(GNPs) using a 3D computational cell model during x‐ray radiotherapy. Methods: Two GNP …

We review radiation transport and clinical beam modelling for gold nanoparticle dose-
enhanced radiotherapy using X-rays. We focus on the nanoscale radiation transport and its …

Proton and ion beams are radiotherapy modalities of increasing importance and interest.
Because of the different biological dose response of these radiations as compared with high …

Computational simulations, such as Monte Carlo track structure simulations, offer a powerful
tool for quantitatively investigating radiation interactions within cells. The modelling of the …

Abstract Results of a Monte Carlo code intercomparison exercise for simulations of the dose
enhancement from a gold nanoparticle (GNP) irradiated by X-rays have been recently …

The clinical potentials of radiotherapy could not be achieved completely because of the
inaccurate positioning and inherent radioresistance of tumours. In this study, a novel active …

Understanding radiation‐induced non‐cancer effects on the central nervous system (CNS)
is essential for the risk assessment of medical (eg, radiotherapy) and occupational (eg …

Bone loss, commonly seen in osteoporosis, is a condition that entails a progressive decline
of bone mineral density and microarchitecture, often seen in post‐menopausal women …
