The Relative Biological Effectiveness for Carbon and Oxygen Ion Beams Using the Raster-Scanning Technique in Hepatocellular Carcinoma Cell Lines
Figure 3
Fitted survival curves after photon, 12C- and 16O-irradiation of Hep3B, HepG2, HuH7 and PLC cell lines determined by colony forming assay (shown in descending order).
Applied photon doses were 0, 2, 4, 6 and 8 Gy and applied ion doses for 12C and O16 were 0, 0.125, 1, 2 and 3 Gy. Survival curves of HCC cell lines after photon and 12C irradiation are shown on the left side, survival curves after photon and O16 irradiation are shown on the right side.
