Characterization of relative biological effectiveness for conventional radiation therapy: a comparison of clinical 6 MV X-rays and (137)Cs
Various types of radiation are utilized in the treatment of cancer. Equal physical doses of different radiation types do not always result in the same amount of biological damage. In order to account for these differences, a scaling factor known as the relative biological effectiveness (RBE) can be...
