Relative Biological Effectiveness (RBE) is a concept used in radiobiology and health physics to compare the effectiveness of different types of ionizing radiation in causing biological damage. RBE is defined relative to a standard radiation (usually X-rays or gamma rays). Different types of radiation (e.g., alpha, beta, gamma, neutrons) have different RBE values, meaning they cause different amounts of biological damage for the same amount of absorbed energy.
Which is the result of damage to relative biological effectiveness?
