In panel (A) physical and RBE-weighted dose are shown, as obtained with a constant and with a variable RBE. Special emphasis is given to the differences at the distal fall-off, where OAR might be located. In panel (B) the different impact in terms of range extension that can be expected when comparing steep and shallow dose gradients is shown. Adapted from Grün et al. [103].
