Impact of respiratory motion on variable relative biological effectiveness in 4D-dose distributions of proton therapy.

Background:Organ motion during radiation therapy with scanned protons leads to deviations between the planned and the delivered physical dose. Using a constant relative biological effectiveness (RBE) of 1.1 linearly maps these deviations into RBE-weighted dose. However, a constant value cannot accou...
