Incorporating microdosimetry into radiation therapy treatment planning with multi-scale Monte Carlo simulations

In order to choose and design optimal treatment plans for radiation therapy, it is necessary to employ models that can predict the tissue response to the ionizing radiation. The conventional models are based on the radiological absorbed dose, which does not account for the effect of radiation damage...
