Abstract:
PURPOSE: To model four-dimensional (4D) relative biological effectiveness (RBE)-weighted dose variations in abdominal lesions treated with scanned carbon ion beam in case of irregular breathing motion. METHODS: The proposed method, referred to as bioWED method, combines the simulation of tumor motion in a patient- and beam-specific water equivalent depth (WED)-space with RBE modeling, aiming at the estimation of RBE-weighted dose changes due to respiratory motion. The method was validated on a p...     »
