This is Episode 7, LET's Talk RBE.In our last episode, we saw how mathematical models like the Linear-Quadratic model describe cell survival curves. But a key point emerged: equal doses of different types of radiation don't necessarily produce equal biological effects. Today, we'll quantify these differences by defining two fundamental concepts: Linear Energy Transfer, or LET, and Relative Biological Effectiveness, or RBE, and exploring the crucial relationship between them.
