It has long been known that radiation biology plays an important role and it is necessary for radiotherapy treatments. The radiation effects on normal and malignant tissues after exposure range from a femtosecond to months and years thereafter [1,2]. Therefore, to optimize treatment, it is crucial to explain and understand these mechanisms [3][4][5]. Providing a conceptual basis for radiotherapy and identifying the mechanisms and processes that underlie the tumor and normal tissue responses to irradiation can help to explain the observed phenomena [6]. Examples include understanding hypoxia, reoxygenation, tumor cell repopulation, or the mechanisms of repair of DNA damage [3,7,8]. The different biological effects of radiation should be divided into several phases: physical (interaction between charged particles and tissue atoms), chemical (the period during which the damaged atoms and molecules react with other cellular components in rapid chemical reactions), and biological (impact of the generated lesions on the biological tissue [4]). The following section describes the models most often used in radiotherapy. These are simplistic models that actual treatments are based, and that are validated and approved [9][10][11][12]. REFERENCE MODELSNumerous models exist to evaluate the biological equivalent dose, but the two most common are the nominal standard dose (NSD [13]) and linear quadratic (LQ [9]) models. The NSD uses the power law described in equation 1 below (D tol is the tolerance dose of the tissue, NSD is a constant, n and t    , N the number of fractions, and T the overall treatment time). However, this model has been often criticized [14]. In short, some researchers consider and have even shown that the NSD formula is not a valid description for all tumors and normal tissues; instead, they maintain that the model incorrectly describes the effects of fraction number and treatment duration. ABSTRACTThe limits of classical equivalent computation based on time, dose, and fractionation (TDF) and linear quadratic models have been known for a long time. Medical physicists and physicians are required to provide fast and reliable interpretations regarding the delivered doses or any future prescriptions relating to treatment changes. In this letter, we propose an outline related to the different models usable for equivalent and biological doses that are likely to be the most appropriate. The used methodology is based on: the linear-quadratic-linear model of Astrahan, the repopulation effects of Dale, and the prediction of multi-fractionated treatments of Thames.
