According to ICRU: The total absorbed dose delivered by the reference treatment plan (fraction size <math>X</math>) that leads to the same biological effect as a test treatment plan that is conducted with absorbed dose per fraction <math>d</math> and total absorbed dose <math>D</math> according to the relation:

<math>
EQDX_{\alpha/\beta} = D \cdot \frac{d+\alpha/\beta}{X + \alpha/\beta}
</math>

where <math>\alpha/\beta</math> is an endpoint- and radiation quality-specific parameter that describes the effect of changes in dose per fraction.
