Fractionation-based or temporally-based methods |
A category of methods for the calculation of effective dose that are based on Fractionation or temporal patterns and are used to predict the Biologically Effective Dose.[Thames HD, Hendry JH. Fractionation in radiotherapy. New York: Taylor & Francis; 1987][Barendsen, G.W (1982) Dose fractionation, dose rate and iso-effect relationships for normal tissue responses, Int. J. Radiat. Oncol. Biol. Phys. 8 (11) : 1981-1997.] |

Radiation transport-based methods |
A category of methods for the calculation of effective dose that are based on radiation transport and are used to predict the Relative Biological Effectiveness of an ion beam based on the quality of the radiation used.[Wambersie A, RBE, reference RBE and clinical RBE: Applications of these concepts in hadron therapy, Strahlentherapie und Onkologie 1999 June, 175(2) : 39-43][Paganetti H, et al., Relative biological effectiveness (RBE) values for proton beam therapy, Int J Rad. Onc Biol Phys, 2002 June; 53(2) : 407-421] |
