alpha.beta.mkm: Evaluation of alpha and beta LQ parameter (fast MKM)

In planit-group/Rplanit: Radiotherapy with ion beams - planning, simulations and analysis

Evaluation of alpha and beta LQ parameter (fast MKM)

Description

The evaluation is performed for a monoenergetic ion. It uses a C++ MKM "rapid" implementation for the evaluation. It accepts a single set of MKM parameter (alphaX, betaX, rN, rd), or alternatively a full range of variability (min,max) for each parameter.

Usage

alpha.beta.mkm(alphaX = 0.1295, betaX = 0.03085, rN = 4, rd = 0.31,
  alphaX.min = NULL, alphaX.max = NULL, alphaX.N = NULL,
  betaX.min = NULL, betaX.max = NULL, betaX.N = NULL,
  rN.min = NULL, rN.max = NULL, rN.N = NULL, rd.min = NULL,
  rd.max = NULL, rd.N = NULL, cellType = NULL, particleType = "H",
  energies = NULL, lets = NULL, calculusType = "rapidMKM",
  ignore.stdout = TRUE, ignore.stderr = TRUE)

Arguments

alphaX, betaX, rN, rd	MKM "biological" parameter associated to a specific biological tissue/cell line: alphaX LQ alpha parameter of the reference radiation [Gy^-1] betaX LQ beta parameter of the reference radiation [Gy^-2] rN cell nucleus radius [um] rd domain radius [um]
alphaX.min, alphaX.max	range of variability for parameter alphaX
alphaX.N	number of step for alphaX
betaX.min, betaX.max	range of variability for parameter betaX
betaX.N	number of step for betaX
rN.min, rN.max	range of variability for parameter rN
rN.N	number of step for rN
rd.min, rd.max	range of variability for parameter rd
rd.N	number of step for rd
cellType	name of the tissue/cell line (optional)
energies	vector of energies for the particle [MeV]
lets	vector of LETs for the particle [keV/um]. It is used if energies is NULL.
calculusType	the type of the evaluations options are: rapidKase implementation of MKM as described in (Kase2008) rapidMKM more correct implementation for the MKM from the one described in (Kase2008) newMKMKase "rapidKase" implementation + non poissionian correction for beta newMKM "rapidMKM" implementation + non poissionian correction for beta slow_alphaIon_betaIon slow Monte Carlo evaluation (compatible with MKM, LEMI, LEMII and LEMIII).
particel	type. Available ions: 'H', 'He', 'Li', 'Be', 'B,', 'C', 'N', 'O', 'F', 'Ne'.

Value

a data.frame containing all the information specified including the alpha and beta MKM evaluation (note, in the MKM implementation beta = betaX).
