Applications of amorphous track models in radiation biology.

Radiation and environmental biophysics - 1 Jul 1999

Cucinotta F A, Nikjoo H, Goodhead D T

Abstract excerpt

The average or amorphous track model uses the response of a system to gamma-rays and the radial distribution of dose about an ion's path to describe survival and other cellular endpoints from proton, heavy ion, and neutron irradiation. This model has been used for over 30 years to successfully fit many radiobiology data sets. We review several extensions of this approach that address objections to the original...
