PHASER: A platform for clinical translation of FLASH cancer radiotherapy. Radiotherapy and oncology : journal of the European Society for Therapeutic Radiology and Oncology Maxim, P. G., Tantawi, S. G., Loo, B. W. 2019

Abstract

Pluridirectional high-energy agile scanning electronic radiotherapy (PHASER) is next-generation medical linac technology for ultra-rapid highly conformal image-guided radiation, fast enough to "freeze" physiological motion, affording improved accuracy, precision, and potentially superior FLASH radiobiological therapeutic index. Designed for compactness, economy, and clinical efficiency, it is also intended to address barriers to global access to curative radiotherapy.
