Biological dose estimation model for heavy ions

In general, the relative biological effectiveness (RBE) of high-energy heavy ions (HZE particle) is expressed as a function of their LET. However, RBE of HZE particles cannot be uniquely determined from their LET because of their large production cross sections of high-energy delta-rays. Hence, it is severely requested to develop a biological dose estimation model that can explicitly consider the track structure of delta-rays around the trajectory of HZE particle. We therefore developed a biological dose estimation method of HZE particles based on the lineal energy y distribution.
