Electron FLASH platform for pre-clinical research: LINAC modification, simplification of pulse control and dosimetry
Banghao Zhou, Lixiang Guo, Weiguo Lu +7
Background: FLASH radiotherapy is a treatment regime that delivers therapeutic dose to tumors at an ultra-high dose rate while maintaining adequate normal tissue sparing. However,…
Comparing fast imaging techniques for individual pulse imaging by Cherenkov in vivo from electron FLASH irradiation
Mahbubur Rahman, M. Ramish Ashraf, Rongxiao Zhang +6
Objective: In this study, a fast imaging technique was developed for the first in vivo Cherenkov emission imaging from an ultra-high dose rate (UHDR) electron beam source at single…
Characterization of a Diode Dosimeter for UHDR FLASH Radiotherapy
Mahbubur Rahman, Jakub Kozelka, Jeff Hildreth +8
Purpose: A diode EDGE Detector with a newly designed electrometer has been characterized for use in an UHDR electron beam and demonstrated appropriateness for UHDR FLASH radiothera…
Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) for Experimental Use of FLASH on a Clinical Accelerator
Mahbubur Rahman, Rongxiao Zhang, David J. Gladstone +6
Background: Use of a linear accelerator in ultra-high dose rate (UHDR) mode can provide a conduit for wider access to UHDR FLASH effects, sparing normal tissue, but care needs to b…
Individual Pulse Monitoring and Dose Control System for Pre-Clinical Implementation of FLASH-RT
M. Ramish Ashraf, Mahbubur Rahman, Xu Cao +7
Ultra-high dose rate electron sources require dose rate independent dosimeters and a calibrated dose control system for accurate delivery. In this study, we developed a single-puls…
Treatment Planning System for Electron FLASH Radiotherapy: Open-source for Clinical Implementation
Mahbubur Rahman, M. Ramish Ashraf, David J. Gladstone +7
Purpose: A Monte Carlo (MC) beam model and its implementation in a clinical treatment planning system (TPS, Varian Eclipse) are presented for a modified ultra-high dose-rate electr…
Electron FLASH Delivery at Treatment Room Isocenter for Efficient Reversible Conversion of a Clinical LINAC
Mahbubur Rahman, M. Ramish Ashraf, Rongxiao Zhang +8
Purpose: In this study, procedures were developed to achieve efficient reversible conversion of a clinical linear accelerator (LINAC) and deliver electron FLASH (eFLASH) or convent…
Dosimetry for FLASH Radiotherapy: A Review of Tools and the Role of Radioluminescence and Cherenkov Emission
Muhammad Ramish Ashraf, Mahbubur Rahman, Rongxiao Zhang +4
While spatial dose conformity delivered to a target volume has been pushed to its practical limits with advanced treatment planning and delivery, investigations in novel temporal d…
