The parameter-free track structure model of Scholz and Kraft for heavy-ion cross sections.
The "parameter-free", "local effects" theory of Scholz and Kraft is an extension to mammalian cells of the theory of RBE for dry enzymes and viruses of Butts and Katz. Its claim for parameter freedom has been challenged elsewhere. Here we examine its conceptual base and find errors in its use of the physical concept of cross section and its neglect of the radiobiological relationship between ta...
متن کاملRecoil proton, alpha particle, and heavy ion impacts on microdosimetry and RBE of fast neutrons: analysis of kerma spectra calculated by Monte Carlo simulation.
Fast neutrons (FN) have a higher radio-biological effectiveness (RBE) compared with photons, however the mechanism of this increase remains a controversial issue. RBE variations are seen among various FN facilities and at the same facility when different tissue depths or thicknesses of hardening filters are used. These variations lead to uncertainties in dose reporting as well as in the compari...
متن کاملInterphase Death of Chinese Hamster Ovary Cells Exposed to Accelerated Heavy Ions
Introduction: Heavy ions are nucleus of elements of iron, argon, carbon and neon that all carry positive electrical charges. For these particles to be useful in radiotherapy they need to accelerated to high energy by more than thousand mega volts. Also the cosmic environment is considered to be a complicated mixture of highly energetic photons and heavy ions such as iron. Therefore, the health ...
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 کاملSurvey of cellular radiosensitivity parameters.
A model of the formation of particle tracks in emulsion has been extended through the use of biological target theory to formulate a theory of the response of biological cells and molecules of biological importance to irradiation with energetic heavy ions. For this purpose the response to gamma rays is represented by the single-hit, multitarget model with parameters m and D0, while additional p...
