This work has two related objectives. The first is to estimate the relative biological effectiveness of two radioactive heavy ion beams based on experimental measurements, and compare these to the relative biological effectiveness of corresponding stable isotopes to determine whether they are therapeutically equivalent. The second aim is to quantitatively compare the quality of images acquired postirradiation using an in‐beam whole‐body positron emission tomography scanner for range verification quality assurance.

用于重离子治疗的放射性束特征的实验研究。

这项工作有两个相关目标。首先是根据实验测量值估算两个放射性重离子束的相对生物学有效性，并将它们与相应的稳定同位素的相对生物学有效性进行比较，以确定它们在治疗上是否等效。第二个目的是使用光束中全身正电子发射断层扫描仪定量比较照射后获得的图像质量，以确保范围验证质量。
