Dose-response curves for MRI-detected radiation-induced temporal lobe reactions in patients after proton and carbon ion therapy: Does the same RBE-weighted dose lead to the same biological effect?

CONCLUSIONS: The RBE-weighted dose prescription for protons leads to the same RBE-weighted dose-response curve for TLR as the one for LEM I-based carbon ions, while LEM IV predicts clinically significant higher tolerance doses. PMID: 29459152 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
