Purpose/objectives: Normal lung tissue tolerance constitutes a limiting factor in delivering a required radiation dose.The biological effects of high precision particle therapy with protons or carbon ion (12C) as compared to the classical photon irradiation in the lung tissue are not well characterized.The present study aimed to determine the relative biological effectiveness (RBE) of carbon ions as compared to proton and photon radiations in development of acute lung toxicity.
