The linear-quadratic ͑LQ͒ model is frequently used for modeling the effects of radiotherapy at low and medium doses per fraction for which it appears to fit clinical data reasonably well.It has also been used at the very high doses per fraction encountered in stereotactic radiosurgery, but some have questioned such use because there are little clinical data to demonstrate that the model is accurate at such high doses.This is the proposition debated in this month's Point/ Counterpoint.
