RBE-‐weighted absorbed dose
• Knowledge of the RBE is required – for dose prescripIon – for comparison with photon plans – to transfer clinical experience
• “RBE-‐weighted absorbed dose” = RBE(x,y,z) × dose(x,y,z) – units: Gy(RBE) [ICRU] (formerly: GyE or CGE)
– hypotheIcal (!) photon dose distribuIon with the same biological effect
