Significats de variable rbe en anglès

Extension of this approach could generate data needed to optimize proton therapy plans incorporating variable RBE.

However, a constant value cannot account for potential nonlinear variations in RBE suggested by variable RBE models.

Material and methods: 4D-dose calculation including variable RBE was implemented in the open source treatment planning toolkit matRad.

Here, we study the impact of motion on recalculations of RBE-weighted dose distributions using a phenomenological variable RBE model.

Conclusion: For the studied liver case, intrafractional motion did not reduce the modulation of the RBE-weighted dose postulated by variable RBE models for proton treatments.
