EDU 39 - Linear Energy Transfer (LET) and Relative Biological Effectiveness (RBE) in Proton Therapy - Controversies and Gaps in Knowledge

Dose Linear-Energy-Transfer Volume Histogram and Dosimetric Seed Spot Analysis in Spot-Scanning Proton Therapy

Tuesday, October 1, 2024
1:27 PM – 1:47 PM ET
Location: Room 145

Learning Objectives:

  1. Understand what the role of LET/RBE is in the correlative studies of proton treatment response and in the evaluation of PBS treatment plans.
  2. Understand what the limitations of the reported results are and the consequences of such limitations.
  3. Understand what LET/RBE-related research needs to be performed to move the LET/RBE-related plan evaluation and treatment response study forward.
