Nanoparticles are transforming medical research through advanced diagnostics and therapies. Their customizable surfaces enable precise targeting, making them essential tools in personalized medicine. In medical physics, metallic nanoparticles, due to their high density and atomic number, are particularly effective at enhancing radiation doses. They also improve imaging techniques such as MRI and CT by acting as high-resolution contrast agents, while playing a key role in therapeutic applications. In this presentation, I will discuss two nanoparticle applications related to my research. First, I will present my Ph.D. work on nanoparticle-enhanced synchrotron radiotherapy. Then, I will introduce a project focused on nanoparticle-doped dosimetric gels. These studies highlight the promising role of nanoparticles in advancing cancer treatment and medical imaging.
