A Monte Carlo model for cell-cycle kinetics in charged particle irradiation

Phys Med. 2001:17 Suppl 1:175-6.

Abstract

In this paper we present a simulation of cell survival in Hadrontherapy. The work based on the Scholz-Kraft model extends the original approach to account both for the cell dimensions and radiosensitivity as a function of the time along the cell cycle.
