Oncogenic transformation in C3H10T1/2 cells by low-energy neutrons.
PURPOSE Occupational exposure to neutrons typically includes significant doses of low-energy neutrons, with energies below 100 keV. In addition, the normal-tissue dose from boron neutron capture therapy will largely be from low-energy neutrons. Microdosimetric theory predicts decreasing biological effectiveness for neutrons with energies below about 350 keV compared with that for higher-energy ...
متن کاملEvaluation of the relative biological effectiveness of the Auger electrons produced during gadolinium neutron capture therapy using microdosimetric approach
Determination of the relative biological effectiveness (RBE) of Auger electrons is a challenging task in radiobiology. In this study, we have estimated the RBE of internal conversion (IC) and Auger electrons released during Gadolinium neutron capture reaction (GNCR) by means of biological weighting functions (BWFs) with microdosimetric approach. Regarding the different distribution of Gadoliniu...
متن کاملAnalysis of Relative Biological Effectiveness of Proton Beams and Iso-effective Dose Profiles Using Geant4
Background: The assessment of RBE quantity in the treatment of cancer tumors with proton beams in treatment planning systems (TPS) is of high significance. Given the significance of the issue and the studies conducted in the literature, this quantity is fixed and is taken as equal to 1.1.Objective: The main objective of this study was to assess RBE quantity of proton beams and their variations ...
متن کاملEvaluation of variable relative biological effectiveness and the creation of homogenous biological dose in the tumor region in helium ion radiation to the V79 cell line
In radiation therapy, ions heavier than proton have more biological advantages than a proton beam. Recently, ion helium has been considered due to high linear energy transfer (LET) to the medium and a higher relative biological effect (RBE). To design the spread-out Bragg peak (SOBP) of biological dose for radiation with any type of ion, we need exact values of RBE, which is dependent to dose, ...
متن کاملCalculation of dose, dose equivalent, and relative biological effectiveness for high charge and energy ion beams.
The Green's function for the transport of ions of high charge and energy is utilized with a nuclear fragmentation database to evaluate dose, dose equivalent, and RBE for C3H10T1/2 cell survival and neoplastic transformation as a function of depth in soft tissue. Such evaluations are useful to estimates of biological risk for high altitude aircraft, space operations, accelerator operations, and ...
