Flash Radiotherapy Is Faster Than a Heartbeat: A Model to Illustrate the Interplay between Tissue Oxygen Perfusion and Ultra-High Dose Rate Effects.

To investigate ultra-high dose rate therapy (UHDRT) improves the protection of normal tissues and reduces side effects while effectively controlling tumors. Several hypotheses have been proposed to explain how ultra-high dose rates can produce these effects u...

Dose‑Rate–Dependent Modulation of Radiolytic Hydroxyl Radical (•OH) Yield In Water Under Electron and Proton Flash Irradiation

FLASH radiotherapy (FLASH‑RT) employs ultra‑high dose rates (UHDR) that preferentially spare normal tissues relative to conventional dose‑rate radiotherapy (CONV‑RT) while maintaining tumor control, this is known as the FLASH effect. A proposed mechanistic ex...
