Monte Carlo dosimetry modeling of focused<scp>kV</scp>x‐ray radiotherapy of eye diseases with potential nanoparticle dose enhancement

Abstract

Compared to eye plaque brachytherapy, the proposed focused kV x-ray technique is noninvasive and shows great advantage in sparing healthy critical organs without sacrificing the tumor control. The NP radiation dose enhancement is considerable at our proposed kV range even with a low NP concentration in the tumor, providing better critical structure protection and more flexibility for treatment planning.
