Fig. 3From: Phenomenon-based evaluation of relative biological effectiveness of ion beams by means of the multiscale approachRBE at 10% cell survival for human normal tissue cells irradiated with carbon ions. Solid line shows \(\text {RBE}_{10\%}\) calculated by means of the MSA. Shaded area shows a photon dose-related uncertainty due to the difference in the experimental photon response curves (Suzuki et al. 1996, 2000; Tsuruoka et al. 2005; Belli et al. 2008).Back to article page
