Abstract:The HZB cyclotron continues to provide protons for eye-tumor treatment in collaboration with the Charité – Universitätsmedizin Berlin after 24 years and more than 4400 patients so far. With the perspective of broadening its research capabilities in the field of radiation therapy, intensive effort has been dedicated towards proton FLASH irradiation, which requires ultra-high dose rates or beam intensities.
By combining a fast and reliable switch-off mechanism, accurate dosimetry, and a double-sca… Show more
