Advancement of microdosimetric kinetic model in heavy-ion radiotherapy
To date, more than 11,000 cancer patients have been treated with therapeutic carbon-ion beams at the National Institute of Radiological Sciences (NIRS). In the treatment planning system, the biological effectiveness of the therapeutic carbon-ion beams has been predicted based on the microdosimetric kinetic (MK) model.

Purpose: The microdosimetric kinetic (MK) model underestimates the cell-survival fractions for high linear energy transfer (LET) and high dose irradiations. To address the issue, the MK model was extended to the stochastic microdosimetric kinetic (SMK) model.

Development of a System for Microdosimetric Assessment of Clinical Proton Treatment Plans via Proton Energy Spectra [PDF]
Purpose: The biological effectiveness of proton radiation depends on variables beyond the absorbed dose. In particular, the dose deposition on a micrometer scale may be relevant for subcellular structures such as DNA.

Relative biological effectiveness study of Lipiodol based on microdosimetric-kinetic model
Objectives: We examine the contrast agent Lipiodol effect on the relative biological effectiveness (RBE) values for flattening filter free (FFF) and flattening filter (FF) beams of 6 MV-Xray (6 MVX) and 10 MVX. Methods: Lipiodol was placed at 5 cm depth in water. According to the microdosimetric kinetic model, the RBE values for killing the human liver
