Comprehensive Characterization of Beam Current Transformers for the Performance Evaluation of Flash Linacs Producing Ultra-High Dose Rates for Flash Radiotherapy

The beam output of linacs producing ultra-high dose rates for FLASH radiotherapy (FLASH linacs) can exhibit significant and sometimes unpredictable variations in response to beam parameter adjustments, differing even among identical models. This study aims to...

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...
