Radiobiology
Biologically Effective Dose (BED) is a radiobiological concept that quantifies the biological effect of radiation treatment by considering both the total dose and the fractionation schedule. It integrates factors such as the total dose delivered, the number of treatment fractions, and the time interval between fractions to evaluate how effectively radiation will induce cell kill in tumors while minimizing damage to healthy tissues.
congrats on reading the definition of Biologically Effective Dose (BED). now let's actually learn it.
