Oral Presentation:The use and implementation of nanoparticles in medicine has grownexponentially in the last twenty years. Their main applications include drugdelivery, theranostics, tissue engineering and magneto function. Dosimetrytechniques can take advantage of inorganic nanoparticles properties and theircombination with gel dosimetry techniques could be used as a first step for theirlater inclusion in radio-diagnostics or radiotherapy treatments. This work presentspreliminary results of properly synthesized and purify silver nanoparticlesintegration with Fricke gel dosimeters. Used nanoparticles presented mean sizesranging from 2 to 20 nm, with a lognormal distribution. Xylenol orangeconcentration in Fricke gel dosimeter was adjust in order to allow sample?soptical readout, accounting nanoparticles plasmon. Dose enhancement wasassessed irradiating dosimeters setting X-ray beams energies below and abovesilver K-edge.Este trabajo fue presentado en forma de presentación oral en el ISSSD 2017
