R06: Modelling of Radiation Effects
The effect of radiation on individual cells can be difficult to measure due to the random nature of events. When numerous cells are irradiated, patterns in cell death become more apparent. There have been many attempts to model radiation effects and the current 'best fit' is the linear quadratic equation. These are discussed in the following topics.
