Abstract:
Objective:To conduct visualization analysis,induction and summary for the study status,focus and trend in the dose measurement field of flash radiotherapy(Flash-RT)through bibliometric methods on the basis of the Web of Science Collection(WOS),and analyze the technical bottleneck of Flash-RT dose measurement.Methods:In the WOS database,the("FLASH radiotherapy"or"ultra high dose rate"or"FLASH irradiation")and TS=("dosimetric system"or"dosimeters"or"dosimetry")were used as the theme terms,and all relevant literatures about the study of Flash-RT dose measurement that were included in the Core Collection of WOS database were retrieved.The citation analysis function of WOS and Citespace software(Version 6.2)were used to conduct visualization analysis for the publication trends,sources and research focus of the included literature of Flash-RT dose measurement,and to draw corresponding visualization knowledge maps.Results:The literatures were mainly published during January 2015 and November 2023,and a total of 86 papers were included in the analysis by screening,which included 78 articles and 8 reviews.The top three countries in terms of publication volume were respectively the United States(38 papers),France(19 papers)and Italy(19 papers).The research focuses were respectively Cherenkov,radiotherapy,passive dosimeter,conventional radiation,laser particle acceleration,ionization chamber and proton therapy as cluster analysis.Currently,the study of Flash-RT dose measurement mainly focused on the relevant fields included Flash-RT radiation source,dose rate,and the equipment and method of dose measurement.Conclusion:Flash-RT is a new technology with a key breakthrough in the basic field of radiotherapy,and this technique faces many difficulties and challenges in the clinical translation process of this technique.With the continuous development of science and technique,and deepeningaccumulation of related researchclinical big data,the method and procedure of accurate and efficient dose measurement dosimetry methods and procedures will promote and realize the update and iteration of Flash-RT experiment research and device technique,which will successfully realize the clinical the broader application prospects of this technology.
