Description of radiation-induced cell death by a stochastic differential equation.
An attempt to describe the dose dependence of cell inactivation by a stochastic differential equation is made. For this, a stochastic variable in dose radiosensitivity is introduced. Some solutions of the stochastic equation are obtained and and analyzed. How to obtain the value of the noise intensity of radiosensitivity from the experimental data is shown. Comparison of the theory with experimental data gives good results.
