Comparison of the radiosensitisation ability of metal oxide nanoparticles using clinical megavoltage X-rays

A wide range of nanoparticles (NPs), composed of different elements and their compounds, are being developed by several groups as possible radiosensitisers, with some already in clinical trials. However, no systematic experimental survey of the clinical X-ray radiosensitising potential of different...
