Abstract

To determine the dose fraction sizes and interfraction intervals (IFIs) that minimize the Normal Tissue Complication Probability (NTCP) in the spinal cord, for given treatment dose and time, the concept of incomplete repair in the Linear Quadratic (LQ) model is generalized. An exact solution is found for the case when the IFIs are all equal.
