Revisiting the ultra-high dose rate effect: implications for charged particle radiotherapy using protons and light ions.
OBJECTIVE: To reinvestigate ultra-high dose rate radiation (UHDRR) radiobiology and consider potential implications for hadrontherapy. METHODS: A literature search of cellular UHDRR exposures was performed. Standard oxygen diffusion equations were used to estimate the time taken to replace UHDRR-rel...
