A phenomenological model of proton FLASH oxygen depletion effects depending on tissue vasculature and oxygen supply

IntroductionRadiation-induced oxygen depletion in tissue is assumed as a contributor to the FLASH sparing effects. In this study, we simulated the heterogeneous oxygen depletion in the tissue surrounding the vessels and calculated the proton FLASH effective-dose-modifying factor (FEDMF), which could...
