Thermal Neutron Relative Biological Effectiveness Factors for Boron Neutron Capture Therapy from In Vitro Irradiations [PDF]
Cells, 2020 The experimental determination of the relative biological effectiveness of thermal neutron factors is fundamental in Boron Neutron Capture Therapy. The present values have been obtained while using mixed beams that consist of both neutrons and photons of

Biological effectiveness and relative biological effectiveness of ion beams for in‐vitro cell irradiation [PDF]
Cancer Science, 2022 AbstractBiological effectiveness and relative biological effectiveness are critical for proton and ion beam radiotherapy. However, the relationship between the two quantities and physical character of ion beams is not well established. By analyzing 1188 sets of in‐vitro cell irradiation experiments using ion beams ranging from protons to 238U, compiled

Mechanistic Modeling of the Relative Biological Effectiveness of Boron Neutron Capture Therapy [PDF]
Cells, 2020 Accurate dosimetry and determination of the biological effectiveness of boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) is challenging because of the mix of different types and energies of radiation at the cellular and subcellular levels.

Relative Biological Effectiveness of High LET Particles on the Reproductive System and Fetal Development [PDF]
Life, 2020 During a space mission, astronauts are inevitably exposed to space radiation, mainly composed of the particles having high values of linear energy transfer (LET), such as protons, helium nuclei, and other heavier ions.

Proton relative biological effectiveness (RBE): a multiscale problem. [PDF]
Br J Radiol, 2019 Proton radiotherapy is undergoing rapid expansion both within the UK and internationally, but significant challenges still need to be overcome if maximum benefit is to be realised from this technique. One major limitation is the persistent uncertainty in

The relative biological effectiveness of antiprotons
Radiotherapy and Oncology, 2016 Aside from the enhancement of physical dose deposited by antiprotons annihilating in tissue-like material compared to protons of the same range a further increase of biological effective dose has been demonstrated. This enhancement can be expressed in an

First theoretical determination of relative biological effectiveness of very high energy electrons [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2021 Very high energy electrons (VHEEs, E > 70 MeV) present promising clinical advantages over conventional beams due to their increased range, improved penumbra and relative insensitivity to tissue heterogeneities.
