Abstract
PURPOSE: To provide a simple method of showing the equivalent dose in 2 Gy fractions for various treatment regimens using the linear quadratic (LQ) formula. METHODS AND MATERIALS: Tables of equivalent dose for common total doses and fraction sizes have been calculated using the LQ formula for representative alpha:beta ratios (1, 3, 10). Corrections have not been made for repopulation. Examples are given. CONCLUSION: The tables offer a simple method of equating one fractionation regimen with another, recognizing the limitation of this method.
