چکیده مقاله:
Background: Gold nanoparticles (GNPs) are among the most promising radiosensitive materials in radiotherapy. Studying the effective sensitizing factors such as nanoparticle size, concentration, surface features, radiation energy and cell type can help to optimize the effect and possible clinical application of GNPs in radiation therapy. In this study, the radiation sensitive polymer gel was used to investigate the dosimetric effect of GNP size in megavoltage (MV) photon beam radiotherapy. Material and Methods: GNPs with the size of ۳۰nm, ۵۰nm and ۱۰۰nm in diameter were used. Transmission electron microscope (TEM) and dynamic light scattering (DLS) were applied to analyze the size of nanoparticles. The MAGICA polymer gel was synthesized and impregnated with different sizes of GNPs. The samples were irradiated with ۶MV photon beam and ۲۴ hours after irradiation, they were read using a Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scanner. Macroscopic Dose Enhancement Factor (DEF) was measured to compare the effect of GNP size. The MAGICA response of the ۶MV x-ray beam was verified comparing Percentage Depth Dose (PDD) curve extracted from polymer gel dosimetry and Treatment Planning System (TPS). Results: MAGICA polymer gel dose response curve was linear in the range of ۰ to ۱۰ Gy. DEFs by adding ۳۰nm, ۵۰nm and ۱۰۰nm GNPs were ۱.۱, ۱.۱۷ and ۱.۱۲, respectively. PDD curves of polymer gel dosimeter and treatment planning system were in good agreement. Conclusion: The results indicated a substantial increase in DEF uses a MV photon beam in combination with GNPs of different sizes and it was inconsistent with previous radiobiological studies. The maximum DEF was achieved for ۵۰nm GNPs in comparison with ۳۰nm and ۱۰۰nm leading to the assumption of self-absorption effect by larger diameters. According to the outcomes of this work, MAGICA polymer gel can be recommended as a reliable dosimeter to investigate the dosimetric effect of GNP size and also a useful method to validate the current radiobiological and simulation studies.
