Experimental Platform for Ultra-high Dose Rate FLASH Irradiation of Small Animals Using a Clinical Linear Accelerator

International Journal of Radiation Oncology, Biology, Physics, Volume 97, Issue 1, 2017 Jan 1 | Schüler, Emil, PhD; Trovati, Stefania, PhD; King, Gregory, PhD;...
Summary A key factor limiting the effectiveness of radiation therapy is normal tissue toxicity, and recent preclinical data have shown that ultra-high dose rate irradiation (>50 Gy/s, "FLASH") potentially mitigates this effect. However, researc...
