Calculate dose in 2Gy fractions biologically equivalent dose according to the linear-quadratic model.
Usage
getEQD2(D=NULL, fd=NULL, fn=NULL, ab=NULL)
Arguments
D
Total dose. If NULL, nf must be given.
fd
Fractional dose.
fn
Number of fractions. If NULL, D must be given.
ab
alpha/beta ratio for the relevant tissue.
Value
The (vector of) EQD2 value(s)
Details
EQD2 is a special case of isoeffective dose with fractional dose d2=2, see getIsoEffD.
