Biologically effective dose of early responding tissue using α/β of 10. Biologically effective dose of late responding tissue using α/β of 3. Equivalent dose in 2Gy fractions (EQD2). Biologically effective dose (BED) = n x d(1 + d/α/β). n = number of treatment fractions. d = dose per fraction in Gray (Gy). = dose at which the linear and quadratic components of cell kill are equal. |
