Measurement of the number of ionisations which radiation causes per unit distance as it traverses the living cell or tissue is called the linear energy transfer of the radiation. The concept involves lateral damage along the path, in contrast to path length or penetration capability.

The energy lost per unit distance as an ionizing particle travels through a material. Linear energy transfer (LET) is used to quantify the effects of ionizing radiation on biological specimens or electronic devices.

The Linear Energy Transfer (LET) is similar to the stopping power except that it does not include the effects of radiative energy loss (i.e., Bremsstrahlung) or delta-rays. The difference between LET and S is that LET is local energy deposition only and S is concerned with the total energy lost by the particle.

Recent studies suggest that radioimmunotherapy (RIT) with high-linear energy transfer (LET) radiation may have therapeutic advantages over conventional low-LET (e.g., ß-) emissions. Furthermore, fragments may be more effective in controlling tumor growth than complete IgG.
