Simulation of dose enhancement in radiotherapy caused by cisplatin [PDF]
Journal of Instrumentation, 2020 This research considers potential dose increase in target due to cisplatin (Pt) concentration and radiation type. Cisplatin concentrations from 0.003 to 120 mM were used. Monte-Carlo simulation of Linear accelerator (Elekta Synergy) and X-ray tube (Xstrahl300) was carried out using Geant4 and PClab.
