Abstract
Gold nanoparticles (GNPs) are proven effective heavy-atom radiosensitizers to produce imaging contrast and dose enhancement in radiotherapy. To understand the physical and biological effect of adding GNPs to the tumour cells, Monte Carlo simulation based on particle tracking and transport, is employed to predict the dosimetry in the cellular and DNA scale. In this review, we first explore the recent advances in Monte Carlo simulation on GNP radiosensitisation. The development of particle tracking algorithm for very low energy electron in the simulation is discussed, followed by some results regarding the prediction of dose enhancement (microscopic and macroscopic). We then review different Monte Carlo cell models with GNPs in the simulation, the biological effect resulting from DNA damage, and the effects of increasing imaging contrast in the tumour cell due to photoelectric enhancement. Moreover, we explain and look at different studies and results on GNP-enhanced radiotherapy using gamma rays (brachytherapy), megavoltage photon, kilovoltage photon, electron and proton beams.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
