It was demonstrated that a fast MCDS code could be used to simulate the DNA damage yield for therapeutic proton beams. Simulated RBE for the induction of DSB were comparable to RBE measured in vitro and in vivo. Depth dependent RBE values in the SOBP region might have to be considered in certain treatment situations.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
