Determination of the ion collection efficiency of the Razor Nano Chamber for ultra-high dose-rate electron beams

Marco Cavallone et al.

Summary: Ultra-high dose-rate irradiations have gained interest in radiotherapy. In order to apply it to clinical treatments, practical tools and methods need to be developed. Recent research has found that instruments with small sensitive volumes have higher efficiency at high dose rates.

Response of diamond detectors in ultra-high dose-per-pulse electron beams for dosimetry at FLASH radiotherapy

R. Kranzer et al.

Summary: This study investigates the response of microDiamond detectors and their prototypes in ultra-high DPP electron beams. It is found that commercially available microDiamond detectors have limitations in terms of linearity at ultra-high DPP, but this is not an intrinsic limitation of the detector principle. By reducing sensitivity and using low series resistance, the linear range of the detectors can be extended.

Hypofractionated FLASH-RT as an Effective Treatment against Glioblastoma that Reduces Neurocognitive Side Effects in Mice

Pierre Montay-Gruel et al.

Summary: Recent data suggest that FLASH-RT delivered to the whole brain in a single fraction does not cause neurocognitive deficits in mice, while also delaying glioblastoma growth. The use of FLASH-RT with hypofractionated regimens shows promise in providing both antitumor efficacy and neuroprotective benefits.

Correction of the measured current of a small-gap plane-parallel ionization chamber in proton beams in the presence of charge multiplication

Severine Rossomme et al.

Summary: The study aims to investigate the response of a small-gap plane-parallel ionization chamber in the presence of charge multiplication and suggest an experimental method to determine the product of the recombination correction factor (k(s)) and the charge multiplication correction factor (k(CM)). Results show that the charge multiplication effect is independent of beam quality but chamber dependent, and the method to be taken for reference dosimetry in scanned proton beams depends on the correction factors applied during chamber calibration.

FLASH Proton Pencil Beam Scanning Irradiation Minimizes Radiation-Induced Leg Contracture and Skin Toxicity in Mice

Shannon Cunningham et al.

Summary: This study validated the reduction of normal tissue damage with FLASH radiotherapy compared to conventional treatment, and demonstrated the potential of PBS FLASH radiotherapy using proton pencil beam scanning technology in mice. The results support the role of FLASH radiotherapy in improving treatment outcomes and provide valuable data for further research.

Spread-out Bragg peak proton FLASH irradiation using a clinical synchrocyclotron: Proof of concept and ion chamber characterization

Arash Darafsheh et al.

Summary: This study demonstrated the feasibility of delivering protons in an SOBP pattern with >100 Gy/s average dose rate using a clinical synchrocyclotron. Dose heterogeneity can be improved through optimization of the range modulator and number of delivered spots. Plane-parallel chambers with smaller gap between electrodes are more suitable for FLASH dosimetry compared to other ion chambers used in this work.
