| Core Tip |
This paper investigated the dose enhancement effect due to nanoparticle addition using the kilovoltage (kV) photon and megavoltage (MV) electron beams in skin therapy. Dose enhancements of skin layers with different thicknesses were studied with various nanoparticle types, nanoparticle concentrations, radiation beam types and beam energies using Monte Carlo simulation. From the results, it is found that kV photon beams can achieve much higher dose enhancements at the skin compared to MV electron beams. Moreover, gold nanoparticles, which had the highest atomic number in our study, provided the highest dose enhancement for nanoparticle-enhanced skin therapy.
