Small dose monitor based on silicon-carbide diodes for FLASH radiotherapy. [PDF]
Med PhysAbstract Background The FLASH biological effect in radiotherapy has been observed to appear at ultra‐high dose rates UHDR (>$>$40 Gy/s), where the accurate dosimetry at such high rates is still a challenge. Purpose A new 4 ×$\times$ 4 array of SiC‐based detectors (1 mm diameter, 2.2 mm pitch) is proposed for dosimetry in UHDR, as well as the ...

On the spectral changes of magna-field photon beams used in total body irradiation and impact on dosimetry. [PDF]
J Appl Clin Med PhysAbstract Purpose Accurate dosimetry for magna fields can be challenging when dosimeters exhibit energy dependence. The aim of this work was to use Monte Carlo (MC) simulations to calculate energy spectra of magna photon fields and use the spectral information to derive energy dependence correction factors for commonly used dosimeters.
