Abstract:
PURPOSE: In ion beam therapy, biological models to estimate the relative biological effectiveness (RBE) and subsequently the RBE-weighted dose (RWD) are needed in treatment planning and plan evaluation. The required biological parameters as well as their dependency on ion species and ion energy can typically not be determined directly in experiments for in vivo situations. For that reason they are often derived from in vitro data and biological modeling and subject to large uncertainties. We pre...     »
