The dose-response curve of biologically effective dose (BEDH) converted from high-LET carbon-ions in development of pulmonary fibrosis (shown as black squares). The dose-dependency of RBE with reference to increasing BEDH was also revealed (shown as red circles). BEDH for carbon-ions resulting in half maximum fibrosis (BEDED50) was estimated as 58.12 Gy; whereas RBE at this BEDED50 level was estimated as 2.88.
