Design of an Yb‐169 source optimized for gold nanoparticle‐aided radiation therapy
Abstract
To find an optimum design of a new high‐dose rate ytterbium (Yb)‐169 brachytherapy source that would maximize the dose enhancement during gold nanoparticle‐aided radiation therapy (GNRT), while meeting practical constraints for manufacturing a clinically relevant brachytherapy source.
