A clarification is made with regard to the erroneous statement that assigns an incorrect conclusion to a paper by Andreo and Benmakhlouf (2017 Phys. Med. Biol. 62 1518-32) and in relation to other comments on that work. It is also argued that the Monte Carlo calculations made by the authors are based on physically incorrect input data for the fictitious materials used in their simulations, as density-effect corrections and stopping powers must correspond to the specific properties assigned to the fictitious material. Hence, their conclusions remain to be demonstrated using reliable input datasets.
对错误的说法进行了澄清，该说法错误地得出了安德烈奥和本马克洛夫（2017 年《物理医学与生物学》62 卷 1518-32 页）的一篇论文的结论，并与对该工作的其他评论有关。还认为，作者进行的蒙特卡罗计算所基于的是他们模拟中使用的虚构材料的物理上不正确的输入数据，因为密度效应修正和阻止本领必须与分配给虚构材料的特定性质相对应。因此，他们的结论仍然需要使用可靠的输入数据集来证明。
