FLASH radiotherapy is based on the delivery of a dose with very short pulses\u202fat a much higher instantaneous rate than conventional radiotherapy; this makes it possible to reduce the damage to healthy tissue with the same efficacy of the treatment. Such a high dose rate, however, is not compatible with traditional dosimetric techniques, posing new technological challenges in this field.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_single_image image=”4775″ img_size=”full” qode_css_animation=””][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/4″ css=”.vc_custom_1703772967700{margin-bottom: 50px !important;background-color: #042d4c !important;}” el_class=”column_details_portfolio”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

\n\u202f
\nDREAM leverages SiC detector technology to realize an innovative array of thin (<10 \u00b5m) and small (1 mm radius) SiCs for real-time measurement of the side dose profiles of ultra-high dose rate (UHDR) beams which, if carried out with a single detector moving along the x-y directions, would imply a total delivered dose so high as to pose serious radiation protection risks.
\n\u202f
\nTo respond to these problems, the developed array has an innovative asymmetric and irregular geometry, in order to increase the spatial resolution, minimizing the total number of detectors and reducing the total dose necessary for the complete measurement. <[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=”” row_type=”row” use_row_as_full_screen_section=”no” type=”full_width” angled_section=”no” text_align=”left” background_image_as_pattern=”without_pattern”][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=”51px”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
