    Abstract The Mayo Clinic Florida microdosimetric kinetic model (MCF MKM) is a recently developed clonogenic survival model. Since the MCF MKM relies on novel strategies to a priori determine the cell-specific model parameters, the only experiment-specific input values are the α and ß terms of the linear–quadratic model (LQM) of clonogenic survival for the reference photon exposure. Because the two LQM terms are anti-correlated, the fitting process of the reference photon survival curve was found to significantly influence the MCF MKM calculations. This article reports this effect for two clinically relevant cell lines (human brain glioblastoma A-172, human healthy foreskin fibroblasts AG01522) and ions (1H and 12C ions).
