The purpose of this work is to investigate how alternative macroscopic dose descriptors track
absorbed dose to biologically relevant subcellular targets via Monte Carlo (MC) analysis of …

Microscopic energy deposition distributions from ionizing radiation vary depending on
biological target size and are used to predict the biological effects of an irradiation. Ionizing …
