Biological dose-enhancement analysis with Monte Carlo simulation for Lipiodol for photon beams

ConclusionsThe lower-energy and higher-dose-rate beams were contributed to the biological dose. The Lipiodol caused the enhancement of the physical dose and biological effectiveness.Advances in knowledgeThe biological dose enhancement (DbioEF) should be considered in the high-density material such as the Lipiodol.
