Rapid Switching of a C-series Linear Accelerator between Conventional and UHDR Research Mode with Beamline Modifications and Output Stabilization

CONCLUSION: Stable 10MeV UHDR beams were generated to produce an average dose rate of 432Gy/s at the treatment room isocenter. With a reliable pulse-counting beam control system, consistent doses can be delivered for FLASH experiments with the ability to accommodate a wide range of field sizes, source-to-surface distances, and other experimental apparatus that may be relevant for future clinical translation.PMID:38552990 | DOI:10.1016/j.ijrobp.2024.01.215
