Abstract
A mathematical model has been constructed to simulate the response of cells in vitro to fractionated doses of radiation. The model is capable of describing most of the radiobiological functions that are commonly studied. Input data are measurable cell properties. The details of the model and methods of acquiring the input data are outlined and a comparison with experimental observations on two radiobiological functions, survival curves and recovery curves are discussed in some detail.This publication has 30 references indexed in Scilit:
