First Human Cell Experiments With FLASH Carbon Ions

BACKGROUND/AIM: This study aimed to establish a setup for ultra-high-dose-rate (FLASH) carbon-ion irradiation, and to conduct the first human cell experiments using FLASH carbon ions. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A system for FLASH carbon-ion irradiation (1-3 Gy at 13 or 50 keV/μm) was developed. The grow...
