Treatment planning for a scanned carbon beam with a modified microdosimetric kinetic model
We describe a method to calculate the relative biological effectiveness in mixed radiation fields of therapeutic ion beams based on the modified microdosimetric kinetic model (modified MKM). In addition, we show the procedure for integrating the modified MKM into a treatment planning system for a scanned carbon beam.

The microdosimetric-kinetic (MK) model is one of the models that can describe the fraction of cells surviving after exposure to ionizing radiation. In the MK model, there are specific parameters, k and y(D), where k is an inherent parameter to represent the number of potentially lethal lesions (PLLs) and y(D) indicates the dose-mean lineal energy in ...
