Optimization of FLASH proton beams using a track‐repeating algorithm

TL;DR: In this paper , a set of automatic FLASH proton beam optimization algorithms were developed and tested using two proton energies (87.0 MeV and 159.5 MeV) in a variety of beam line arrangements.

Point scintillator dosimetry in ultra-high dose rate electron "FLASH" radiation therapy: A first characterization.

TL;DR: In this paper , a characterization of 6 real-time point scintillating dosimeters with 5 phosphors (Al2O3:C,Mg, Y2O-3:Eu, Al2O 3:C; Al 2O 3 :C; (C38H34P2)MnBr4 and (C 38H34p2)mnCl4) was performed in an UHDR pulsed electron beam.

Impact of respiratory motion on proton pencil beam scanning FLASH radiotherapy: an in silico and phantom measurement study

TL;DR: In this paper , the effects of respiratory motion on the delivered dose in the context of proton pencil beam scanning (PBS) transmission FLASH radiotherapy (FLASH-RT) by simulation and phantom measurements were investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI

Technical Note: FLASH radiotherapy monitor chamber signal conditioning

TL;DR: Preliminary results indicate that current-generation monitor chambers could potentially govern FLASH radiotherapy, but overall beam and monitor chamber stability issues may necessitate machine modifications to achieve desired dosimetric accuracy.

FLASH and Conventional Radiation Induce Differential Immune Responses in Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma, Highlighting Potential for Combination Immunotherapy

TL;DR: In this article , the effect of FLASH on the DIPG tumor immune micro-environment (TIME) has not yet been explored, however, the authors perform single-cell RNA sequencing on immune cells isolated from an orthotopic syngeneic murine model of DIPGs following the use of Flashing (90Gy/sec) or conventional (2Gy/min) dose-rate RT (CONV-RT).

AAPM's TG-51 protocol for clinical reference dosimetry of high-energy photon and electron beams.

TL;DR: This protocol represents a major simplification compared to the AAPM's TG-21 protocol in the sense that large tables of stopping-power ratios and mass-energy absorption coefficients are not needed and the user does not need to calculate any theoretical dosimetry factors.

Radiation-induced impairment of hippocampal neurogenesis is associated with cognitive deficits in young mice

TL;DR: Evidence is provided that irradiation of young animals induces a long-term impairment of dentate subgranular zone neurogenesis that is associated with hippocampal-dependent memory deficits.
