Highly crystalline titanium dioxide nanoparticles (TiO2 -NPs) are synthesized via a simple hydrothermal technique. After structural and compositional analysis, the as-synthesized unmodified TiO2 -NPs are tested for improvement in two modes of kilovoltage radiation therapy and singlephoton emission...
