Fundamental aspects of LET in radiobiology
Description
Some of the radiobiological features of radiation studies using radiations with different distributions of LET or y have been discussed, with emphasis on the areas of doubt. A considerable amount of data can be explained reasonably well, but some very basic questions remain unanswered, such as how much radiation injury is due to damage to DNA and why does OER go down as LET rises. Further studies using radiations of different LET are essential to help solve basic problems in radiobiology
