This study presents the outcomes of combined radiobiological-microdosimetric experiments conducted in the same selected positions along the profile of a Spread-Out Bragg Peak (SOBP). The aim was to obtain the necessary parameters for a novel microdosimetric model for computing photon isoeffective doses in proton therapy [1-5]. This model, named Continuous Microdosimetric Photon Isoeffective...
Minibeam irradiation is seen as a new frontier for exploiting the advantages of proton beams, as well as other types of radiation, towards increasing the therapeutic ratio on clinical treatments. In this context a novel INFN project has been recently launched called MIRO - Minibeam Radiation, dedicated to the investigation of beam design and radiobiological effectiveness of electron and proton...
