Purpose: Radiation therapy is a double-edged sword with regard to its immunomodulatory effect. It is critical to find how it is affected by dose rate. Thus, we developed an analytic model for calculating the number of immune cells receiving radiation. Methods: Suppose the blood is received radiation by constant dose rate. The blood is one-way flow without circulation in the radiation delivery at a constant velocity. Two kinds of lung treatment regimens were considered standard delivery 2Gy per fx total 30fx and hypo-fractionation SBRT 12 Gy per fx total 5 fx. Two different dose rates were simulated for standard treatment: …
