In the context of radiotherapy, Flash irradiations mean the delivery of high dose rates of more than 40 Gy/s, in a short time of less than one second. The expectation of the radio-oncologists are lesser side effects while maintaining the tumour control when using Flash. Clinically acceptable deviations of the applied dose to the described dose are less than 3%. Our accelerator control system is well suited for the standard treatment of ocular melanomas with irradiaton times of 30 s to 60 s. However, it is too slow for the short times required in Flash. Thus, a dedicated beam delivery control system has been developed, permitting irradiation times down to 7 ms with a maximal dose variation of less than 3%.
