Development and validation of a novel pulse optimization and beam control system for conventional and ultra high dose‐per‐pulse (FLASH) irradiation

Medical Physics, Volume 53, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Background FLASH radiotherapy requires precise control and minimal variation of dose per pulse (DPP). However, clinical linear accelerators and their beam control systems are designed to ensure accuracy of the temporally integrated dose and do not control for transient variations in DPP during radiation delivery.
