Data: Microsoft Excel spreadsheet and as a webpage. TSU human prostate carcinoma cells were irradiated by gamma-rays from Cs-137 (dose rate of 84 Gy/hour). Measured data (filled symbols) were digitized from the published figures using UnGraph. The calibrated LPL, RMR, and TLK input files give equally good fits to the measured data as a function of dose and dose rate (solid black lines in the surviving fraction vs. dose plot; see below). The LQ model also provides an adequate fit to the available data. Analysis: |

LQ Model:
An LQ analysis
of the TSU data yields point estimates of
a
and a/b
equal to 0.090 Gy-1 and 1.795 Gy, respectively. The 95%
confidence interval for
a/b
is (0.646 Gy, 3.419 Gy). The paired
bootstrap technique for regression (Efron 1979) was used to compute 95%
confidence intervals for the estimated radiosensitivity parameters. Tip: The LQ is a low dose, low dose rate approximation for the LPL and RMR models (see Brenner et al. 1998, Guerrero et al. 2002, Sachs et al. 1997). |
