5. Intrinsic properties of gold for imaging and radiotherapy
In addition to its high chemical stability and biocompatibility, even on the nanometric scale, metallic gold has some very interesting properties . Indeed, due to its high density (d = 19.3) and atomic number (Z = 79), gold has a very large effective X-ray absorption cross-section. This makes gold a very promising material for applications involving X-ray...
