Radiation induced vaporization of exoskeletal droplets as potential x‐ray acoustic contrast agents
GNP-doped exoskeletal droplets were demonstrated to exhibit enhanced vaporization upon exposure to clinically relevant MV x-ray radiation doses compared to thermal activation alone in the absence of radiation. This is the first step in the development of an x-ray acoustic contrast agent for dosimetry of RT in vivo.
