Quantifying the DNA-damaging Effects of FLASH Irradiation With Plasmid DNA
3 Feb 2022
Abstract excerpt
Purpose To investigate a plasmid DNA nicking assay approach for isolating and quantifying the DNA-damaging effects of ultrahigh-dose-rate (ie, FLASH) irradiation relative to conventional dose-rate irradiation. Methods and Materials We constructed and irradiated phantoms containing plasmid DNA to nominal doses of 20 Gy and 30 Gy using 16 MeV electrons at conventional (0.167 Gy/s) and FLASH (46.6 Gy/s and 93.2...
