Risk coefficients (α1, second and third column) and the linear quadratic model parameter (last column) used for risk assessment for the different organs at risk.
| Organ | α1 (Gy −1) fatal risk | α1 (Gy −1) total risk | α2 (Gy −1) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Lung | 0.0101 | 0.0144 | 0.129 |
| Breast | 0.0028 | 0.0144 | 0.008 |
| Esophagus | 0.0014 | 0.0015 | 0.274 |
The risk coefficients were taken from ICRP 103, the linear LQ-model parameters were adapted from Schneider et al. (4).
