Fractionated carbon ion irradiations of the rat spinal cord: comparison of the relative biological effectiveness with predictions of the local effect model

Abstract Background To determine the relative biological effectiveness (RBE) and α/β-values after fractionated carbon ion irradiations of the rat spinal cord with varying linear energy transfer (LET) to benchmark RBE-model calculations. Material and methods The rat spinal cord was irradiated with 6...
