D = P − E

Notes:

1. This is independent of α/β for either late injury or tumor response. i.e. L and T can take any values and still D = P – E . 2. Because of α/β independence, it follows that acute injury will also be identical to the original plan. In fact, all biological effects will be the same as the original plan, so long as their radiation response is described by LQ.
