Dose 2016

Enger et al PMB 2012/Thomson et al PMB 2013

Assuming relevant target is cells nucleus: Does D m,m or D w,m best reflect D n,m ?

34%

4 Nuclear compositions in 4 different tissue types

15%

Enger conclude: D surrogate for D

is a good

w,m

for all energies

n,m

and compositions studied Thomson conclude: Neither track nuclear dose although error decreases if use D w,m . Nuclear material not representative Both: Need more accurate data on composition of tumour and healthy cells
