Uncertainty In The Physical Basis of Estimates of Relative Biological Effectiveness In Carbon Radiotherapy
<p>Carbon ion radiotherapy is a novel modality used for the treatment of tumors that are unresectable, close to critical structures, or resistant to standard radiotherapy. A unique benefit of this therapy is the relative biological effectiveness (RBE) of the beam (i.e., how biologically potent …

Development of A Remote Dosimetric Audit Framework For Carbon Therapy
<p>Carbon ion therapy is available at over a dozen institutions around the world and is being employed for treatment of cancer. The increased biological effect of carbon compared to conventional photon-based radiotherapy holds promise for the therapeutic benefit in historically radioresistant …

Quantifying Uncertainty In A Measurement-Based Assessment of Relative Biological Effectiveness In Carbon Ion Radiotherapy
… largest inconsistencies in dose delivered during carbon ion therapy is due to uncertainties in relative biological effectiveness (RBE), a value that is calculated via one of several clinically implemented algorithms. This study investigates the uncertainty in measured microdosimetric parameters …
