assay
• best assay available for experimental radiotherapy
• most relevant for clinical practice
• tumour cells remain in situ
• dependent only on clonogenic cells
• All clonogenic cells are assayed, not only some logs.
Thus also survival of small resistant subgroups of
clonogens can be assayed.
• good for radiobiological modelling
