From: Optimizing proton minibeam radiotherapy by interlacing and heterogeneous tumor dose on the basis of calculated clonogenic cell survival

Figure 6

Mean cell survival results for the heterogeneous vs. homogeneous irradiation with 2-dir pencil (a,d) or planar (b,e) minibeams as well as 4-dir planar minibeams (c,f) at the close vicinity of the tumor using the two-Gaussian model from LAP-CERR30,31. The high doses of 10 Gy and 35 Gy minimum dose are presented in the upper row (a–c) and lower row (d–f), respectively. The cell survival for 35 Gy broadbeam irradiation is equal to 0 for all depths.
