Example of the misleading results caused by LQ model in calculating the fractionation effect in radiation therapy

Masako Bando, Yosuke Onoue, Yuichi Tsunoyama, Yasutaka Suzuki et autres

The linear quadratic model (LQM) has been commonly used for calculating radiotherapy and/or radioprotection. It is a mechanistic, biologically-based model with few parameters and is used to do quantitative predictions of dose fractionation dependences for cases such as radiation protection, and radiotherapy. …
