{Gold nanoparticles (GNPs) are being proposed as contrast agents to enhance X-ray imaging {Background and

soft tissue. However, there is a great discrepancy between physically predicted increases tumours leads to an increase in
X-ray energy deposition dose due to their high density and
experimentally energy absorption coefficient, making it a potential radiosensitiser. However, experiments have observed
increases in cell killing. In this work, we present radiosensitisations significantly larger than the
first calculations increase in dose alone, including at megavoltage energies where gold's relative energy absorption is lowest. This work investigates whether GNPs create dose inhomogeneities on a sub-cellular scale which
take into account combine with non-linear dose dependence of cell survival to be the
structure source of
energy deposition radiosensitisation at megavoltage energies. Materials and methods: Monte Carlo simulations were carried out to calculate dose in the
nanoscale vicinity of
GNPs and relate a single GNP on the nanoscale. The effect of this
nanoscale dose distribution was then modelled for MDA-MB-231 cells exposed to
biological outcomes, 2 nm GNPs, and
show for compared to experimental results. Results: Dramatic dose inhomogeneities occur around GNPs exposed to megavoltage radiation. When analysed using the
first time good Local Effect Model, these inhomogeneities lead to significant radiosensitisation, in agreement with
experimentally observed cell killing experimental results. Conclusions: This work suggests that GNP radiosensitisation is driven by
inhomogeneities in dose on the
combination of X-rays and GNPs. These results are not only relevant to radiotherapy, but also have implications for applications of heavy atom nanoparticles nanoscale, rather than changes in
biological settings or where human exposure is possible because dose over the
