Linear quadratic model and biologically equivalent dose for single fraction treatments
1Department of Radiology, SUNY, Syracuse, 13210.
Abstract:
The linear quadratic model has been used to calculate the biologically equivalent dose for single fraction treatments. Our calculations suggest that for late reacting tissue, such as the brain, a single fraction of 1440 cGy is equivalent to a conventional treatment of 5000 cGy in 25 fractions.
