Abstract
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 conventional dose rates. The purpose of this work is to show the feasibility of proton FLASH irradiation using a gantry-mounted synchrocyclotron as a first step toward implementing an experimental setup for preclinical studies. METHODS A clinical Mevion HYPERSCAN® synchrocyclotron...
