Hello!
I work on extended module “neuron” to study the biological effect of protons on the neurons. I think that the calculated LET is track average LET. So, can I add in it, dose average LET to be calculated? Although the size of a network of 10 neurons is in micro scale.
I try to find another module to calculate the dose average LET such as hadrontherapy module , but it is too different from the neuron example. So, I am confused. Should I work on this new module and modify the geometry of a detector to be close to the size of a network? I need your advice and share your idea, please.
Also, Is there a relation if I calculate dose average LET with the step limit effect by a user? Because, in the neuron module, there is not this effect. the step is calculated by default which depends on the geometry and physical processes through the path of a primary particle.
As well, can I add this effect in the neuron module or it is not logic to add for this too small size of the network? Because the reviews that I read have the sizes of cm or mm. If I want to add this effect how can I, please?
Thanks,
Sarah
