title: Bioeffect modeling and equieffective dose concepts in radiation oncology--terminology, quantities and units.
abstract: The International Commission on Radiation Units and Measurements (ICRU) Report Committee on "Bioeffect Modeling and Biologically Equivalent Dose Concepts in Radiation Therapy" is currently developing a comprehensive and consistent framework for radiobiological effect modeling based on the equieffective dose, EQDX(α/β), a concept encompassing BED and EQD2 as special cases.
