The α/β ratio dose-range independent: application of the generalized linear-quadratic (gLQ) model

Objective The dose-range dependence of α/β ratio of the linear-quadratic (LQ) model for ≥10 Gy single doses has recently been reported. We previously proposed a generalized LQ (gLQ) model to address the LQ model limitations in large-dose regions. Here, we apply the gLQ model to large-dose-range in vitro irradiation data to investigate the dose-range dependence of the α/β ratio.
