Microdosimetric Evaluation of Physical and Biological Quantities due to Linear Energy Transfer in Proton Therapy Using Monte Carlo Simulation

Background: In proton therapy, it is imperative to take the distribution of both the physical absorbed dose and the biological dose into account. Therefore, phenomenological models and a biophysical model such as microdosimetric kinetic model (MKM) have been developed for the biological dose calcula...
