Abstract

Absorbed doses are heterogeneously distributed in microscopic scales such as DNA and cell nucleus. In order to clarify the influence of the microscopic dose heterogeneity on radiation effects, the probability density of microscopic doses should be evaluated. This report briefly reviews the concept of microscopic dose heterogeneity, and summarizes the features and applications of our developed model for calculating their probability density.
