Table 1.

Database of dose–response parameters as input in the linear-quadratic-Poisson and relative seriality models. D50 is the dose that causes 50% response probability, γ is the maximum normalized value of the dose–response gradient and s is the relative seriality, which characterizes the volume dependence of the normal tissue. The α/β ratio describes the shoulder of the cell survival curve.
