VHEE and ultra high dose rate radiotherapy studies in the CLEAR user facility

2023
Given the current availability of high-gradient accelerator technology for cost effective and compact electron LINACs in the 100-200 MeV energy range, using Very High Energy Electron (VHEE) radiotherapy (RT) for cancer treatment recently gained a lot of interest. The Ultra High Dose Rate (UHDR) or FLASH dose regime, in which cancerous cells are damaged

Active Dosimetry for VHEE FLASH Radiotherapy Using Beam Profile Monitors and Charge Measurements

Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research, Section A: Accelerators, Spectrometers, Detectors and Associated Equipment
The discovery of the FLASH effect has revealed a high potential for treating cancer more efficiently by sparing healthy tissue. The surge in related medical research activities over the last couple of years has triggered a demand for technology with the capability of generating and measuring ionizing radiation at ultra-high dose-rates (UHDR).

Study of a fast kicker magnet for beam scanning in VHEE therapy

Over the past two decades, very high-energy electron (VHEE) beams ranging from 50 to 250 MeV have been explored as a potential technology for treating deep-seated tumors. FLASH radiation therapy (FLASH-RT) delivers ultra-high dose rates (UHDR) within a few milliseconds, suggests the possibility of enhanced cancer cell lethality while reducing damage to

SAFEST project, a compact C-band RF linac for VHEE FLASH radiotherapy

FLASH Therapy, an innovative cancer treatment, minimizes radiation damage to healthy tissue while maintaining the same efficacy in tumor cure as conventional radiotherapy. Successful integration of FLASH therapy into clinical practice, specifically for treating deep-seated tumors with electrons, relies on achieving Very High Electron Energy (VHEE ...
