Abstract
Abstract—Flash radiotherapy (RT) is a method that administers radiation at an extremely rapid pace to the intended area. Its purpose is to minimize the harmful effects of radiation on healthy tissues while maintaining the therapeutic impact on cancer cells, as opposed to traditional radiation therapy. This article provides an overview of the published data on FLASH-RT and examines the existing understanding of this innovative approach. Furthermore, we focus on the technical challenges and limitations of FLASH-RT and explain how this modality works physically, specifically how technology helps the transfer of energy by ionizing radiation (looking at things like the beam on/off sequence, pulse-energy load, and gap times). It is important to note that the current preclinical research mostly relies on FLASH electrons, and the practical use of FLASH-RT in clinical settings is extremely restricted. To implement FLASH-RT in regular clinical radiation, it is necessary to create devices that can generate FLASH photon beams.
