Impact of Microdosimetric Modeling on Computation of Relative Biological Effectiveness for Carbon Ion Radiotherapy

Microdosimetry plays a critical role in particle therapy by quantifying energy deposition within microscopic domains to assess biological effects. This study evaluates the influence of different microdosimetric functions (MFs) and domain geometries (DGs) on relative biological effectiveness (RBE) pr...
