Abstract
SummaryClonogenic survival assay constitutes the gold standard method for quantifying radiobiological effects. However, it neglects cellular radiation response variability and heterogeneous energy deposition by ion beams on the microscopic scale. We introduce “Cell-Fit-HD4D” a biosensor that enables a deconvolution of individual cell fate in response to the microscopic energy deposition as visualized by optical microscopy. Cell-Fit-HD4D enables single-cell dosimetry in clinically relevant complex radiation fields by correlating microscopic beam parameters with biological endpoints. Decrypting the ion beam’s energy deposition and molecular effects at the single-cell level has the potential to improve our understanding of radiobiological dose concepts as well as radiobiological study approaches in general.
