What BED Calculator does
The BED Calculator on MDApp is a free, web-based tool that computes biologically effective dose (BED) and equivalent dose in 2-Gy fractions (EQD2) using linear-quadratic radiobiology formulas. Users input the dose delivered per fraction, the total number of fractions planned, and the alpha-beta ratio to obtain treatment plan evaluations. The site supports irradiation duration options, custom alpha/beta values, and allows multiple ratio comparisons on a single interface. As a free resource, it requires no paid plan to access its calculations, making it accessible for clinicians and researchers evaluating radiation therapy plans.
How to use the MDApp BED Calculator
- 1
Enter the dose delivered per fraction in gray
- 2
Input the total number of fractions planned for the treatment course
- 3
Specify the alpha-beta ratio relevant to the tissue or protocol being evaluated
- 4
View the calculated BED and EQD2 outputs displayed on the page
Best for
Radiation oncologists, medical physicists, and researchers who need to compare treatment plans or evaluate biological dose equivalents using customizable alpha-beta ratios without cost barriers.
Limitations
- Results depend on the linear-quadratic model assumptions
- No unit switching beyond gray and fractions
- Custom alpha-beta values require user knowledge of appropriate ratios for the target tissue
