In this reply we present additional description of our linear model for LET optimization in response to the comments by Dr Gorissen. We clarify that this model cannot guarantee global optimal solutions to the sum-of-fractions problem. Based on our data, it could be used to optimize LET efficiently while dose constraints are maintained.
