Ultrahigh dose-rate radiotherapy (RT), or'FLASH'therapy, has gained significant momentum
following various in vivo studies published since 2014 which have demonstrated a reduction …

Radiochromic films are mainly used for two-dimensional dose verification in photon,
electron, and proton therapy treatments. Moreover, the radiochromic film types available …

Purpose Recent in vivo investigations have shown that short pulses of electrons at very high
dose rates (FLASH) are less harmful to healthy tissues but just as efficient as conventional …

Recently, a new type of radiochromic film, the EBT-XD film, has been introduced for high
dose radiotherapy. The EBT-XD film contains the same structure as the EBT3 film but has a …

Purpose The ARRONAX cyclotron facility offers the possibility to deliver proton beams from
low to ultra‐high dose rates (UHDR). As a good control of the dosimetry is a prerequisite of …

Radiochromic film dosimetry has been widely employed in most of the applications of
radiation physics for over twenty years. This is due to a number of appealing features of …

Abstract A commercial Monte Carlo (MC) algorithm (RayStation version 6.0. 024) for the
treatment of brain tumors with pencil beam scanning (PBS) proton therapy is validated and …

Background Radiation fields encountered in proton therapy (PT) and ion‐beam therapy
(IBT) are characterized by a variable linear energy transfer (LET), which lead to a variation of …

Purpose The unpredictable interplay between dynamic proton therapy delivery and target
motion in the thorax can lead to severe dose distortions. A fraction‐wise four‐dimensional …

In the last few years, the use of ions in radiation therapy is gaining interest and it is being
considered medically necessary for a growing subset of tumours. Concurrently, the …
