Abstract
The present invention provides strategies to use and control the delivery of ionizing radiation to carry out therapeutic and industrial irradiation treatments. The present invention uses partial pulse control, component selection, and/or component configuration strategies in order to accurately monitor and terminate irradiation. The strategies are particularly useful to control dosing in the high dose rate and short time scales associated with FLASH technology.
