Requirements of modelling tools for the understanding of radiation-induced biological damage at the cellular level
Résumé
Our group at the French Institute for Radioprotection and Nuclear Safety (IRSN) is
working on the development of a method in order to improve knowledge of the risks of
complications during radiotherapy treatments. It combines a Track Structure Monte Carlo
(TSMC) simulation tool of the interactions of ionizing radiation and radiolytic species [1] based
on Geant4-DNA [2, 3, 4, 5] with a multi-scale modeling tool of the exposed cell population
based on new functionalities implemented in the DNAFabric software [6]. The benchmarking
with experimental data [7] and the integration of mathematical functions derived from
experimental biological data on cell fate in a broad sense is ongoing.
