Implementation of simplified stochastic microdosimetric kinetic models into PHITS for application to radiation treatment planning

The stochastic microdosimetric kinetic (SMK) model is one of the most sophisticated and precise models used in the estimation of the relative biological effectiveness of carbon-ion radiotherapy (CRT) and boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT). However, because of its complicated and time-consuming calculation procedures, it is nearly impractical to directly incorporate this model into a radiation treatment-planning system
