Journal ArticleDOI
Irradiation in a flash: Unique sparing of memory in mice after whole brain irradiation with dose rates above 100 Gy/s
Pierre Montay-Gruel,Pierre Montay-Gruel,Kristoffer Petersson,Maud Jaccard,Gael Boivin,Jean-François Germond,Benoit Petit,Raphael Doenlen,Vincent Favaudon,François Bochud,Claude Bailat,Jean Bourhis,Marie-Catherine Vozenin +12 more
TL;DR: This study shows for the first time that normal brain tissue toxicities after WBI can be reduced with increased dose rate.
Journal ArticleDOI
Treatment of a first patient with FLASH-radiotherapy.
Jean Bourhis,Wendy Jeanneret Sozzi,Patrik Gonçalves Jorge,Olivier Gaide,Claude Bailat,F. Duclos,David Patin,Mahmut Ozsahin,François Bochud,Jean-François Germond,Raphaël Moeckli,Marie-Catherine Vozenin +11 more
TL;DR: This first FLash-RT treatment was feasible and safe with a favorable outcome both on normal skin and the tumor, and prompt to further clinical evaluation of FLASH-RT.
Journal ArticleDOI
Clinical translation of FLASH radiotherapy: Why and how?
Jean Bourhis,Pierre Montay-Gruel,Patrik Gonçalves Jorge,Claude Bailat,Benoit Petit,Jonathan Ollivier,Wendy Jeanneret-Sozzi,Mahmut Ozsahin,François Bochud,Raphaël Moeckli,Jean-François Germond,Marie-Catherine Vozenin +11 more
TL;DR: The main data supporting the clinical translation of FLASH-RT is summarized, the key irradiation parameters and the potential technologies needed for a successful clinical translation are explored and its feasibility is explored.
Journal ArticleDOI
High dose-per-pulse electron beam dosimetry - A model to correct for the ion recombination in the Advanced Markus ionization chamber.
Kristoffer Petersson,Maud Jaccard,Jean-François Germond,T. Buchillier,François Bochud,Jean Bourhis,Marie-Catherine Vozenin,Claude Bailat +7 more
TL;DR: The ion collection efficiency of the Advanced Markus ionization chamber decreases for measurements in electron beams with increasingly higher dose‐per‐pulse, but this chamber is still functional for dose measurements in beams with doses up toward and above 10 Gy, if the ion recombination is taken into account.
Journal ArticleDOI
High dose-per-pulse electron beam dosimetry: Commissioning of the Oriatron eRT6 prototype linear accelerator for preclinical use.
Maud Jaccard,Maria Teresa Durán,Kristoffer Petersson,Jean-François Germond,Philippe Liger,Marie-Catherine Vozenin,Jean Bourhis,François Bochud,Claude Bailat +8 more
TL;DR: The beam monitoring system was able to measure in a reproducible way the total charge of electrons that exit the machine, as long as the electron pulse amplitude remains above a given threshold, which is suitable mainly for small animal irradiation.
