Syntax:
RADX: ADR={absorbed dose rate (Gy/hour)} = {delivered dose}/{irradiation time}
Example:
RADX: ADR=1000 !1,000 Gy/hour
RADX: ADR=DD1 !Pointer to an array of dose rates
DD1=0.1 1.0 1.0E+06 / !Array of dose rates (Gy/hour)
Purpose: Set the instantaneous absorbed dose rate used to deliver the specified absorbed dose (baseline exposure scenario)
Data Type: real
Unit: Gy/hour
Default: none
Comments: The DOX parameter provides an alternate, sometimes useful, way to specify dose rate. The delivered dose and dose rate are related by {delivered dose} = {dose rate} x {irradiation time}. The values specified by, for example, the AD and ADR or AD and DOX parameters define a baseline exposure scenario. The baseline exposure scenario can then be re-scaled using the OPT and RND keywords. The OPT and RND keywords are used to re-scale split-dose exposures, multi-fraction exposures, and other temporally complex exposure scenarios. For a single dose of radiation delivered at constant dose rate, an array of dose values (e.g., the DD1 array in the above example) can be used in place of the OPT and RND keywords.
