Relative biological effectiveness of oxygen ion beams in the rat spinal cord: Dependence on linear energy transfer and dose and comparison with model predictions

Background and purpose: Ion beams exhibit an increased relative biological effectiveness (RBE) with respect to photons. This study determined the RBE of oxygen ion beams as a function of linear energy transfer (LET) and dose in the rat spinal cord. Materials and methods: The spinal cord of rats was...
