摘要: Data on cellular inactivation resulting from mixed irradiation with charged-particle beams of different linear energy transfer (LET) are needed to design a spread-out Bragg peak (SOBP) for heavy-ion radiotherapy. The present study was designed the relationship between physical and biological (cell killing) properties by using monoenergetic ${}^{3}{\rm He},{}^{4}{\rm He}$ and12 C ions (12 18.5 MeV/nucleon) attempt apply experimental data in SOBP (3 cm width) 135 MeV/nucleon carbon beam. Experimental studies measurements sequentially combined were carried out establish close LET cell inactivation. results indicated that dose-cell survival high- low-LET could be described linear-quadratic (LQ) model, which new coefficients α β obtained in...
