The clinical translation of FLASH radiotherapy (RT) requires challenges related to dosimetry
and beam monitoring of ultra‐high dose rate (UHDR) beams to be addressed. Detectors …

A dosimetry system composed by Gafchromic™ EBT films and a flatbed document scanner
is a valuable tool for patient-specific quality assurance (QA) of complex external beam …

Purpose It has been recently shown that radiotherapy at ultrahigh dose rates (> 40 Gy/s,
FLASH) has a potential advantage in sparing healthy organs compared to that at …

Purpose In this study, procedures were developed to achieve efficient reversible conversion
of a clinical linear accelerator (LINAC) and deliver ultrahigh-dose-rate (UHDR) electron or …

Purpose The purpose of this work is to (a) demonstrate the feasibility of delivering a spread‐
out Bragg peak (SOBP) proton beam in ultra‐high dose rate (FLASH) using a proton therapy …

Purpose Although flash radiation therapy (FLASH‐RT) is a promising novel technique that
has the potential to achieve a better therapeutic ratio between tumor control and normal …

The recently proposed method for on-site radiation dosimetry by a combination of
radiochromic film and portable colorimeter was tested for six combinations of two popular …

Purpose Due to their finite range, electrons are typically ignored when calculating shielding
requirements in megavoltage energy linear accelerator vaults. However, the assumption that …

Background Ultra‐high dose rate (UHDR) FLASH beams typically deliver dose at rates of>
40 Gy/sec. Characterization of these beams with respect to dose, mean dose rate, and dose …

Featured Application The present study has demonstrated that simple, accurate on-site
dosimetry with a radiochromic film (Gafchromic EBT-XD) can be achieved by using a …
