Transient Electric Fields Can Suppress Flash Sparing during Ultra-High Dose Rate Electron Irradiation
FLASH radiotherapy, defined by ultra-high dose rates (UHDR; >40 Gy/s), can reduce normal-tissue toxicity while maintaining tumor control, yet reported FLASH effects show substantial variability across experimental and preclinical studies. Dielectric materials...

Near-Field Validation of an I-125 Brachytherapy Lab-on-a-Chip Using Gafchromic EBT-Xd Unlaminated Films In a Novel Seed-through-Film Geometry
A microfluidic lab-on-a-chip integrating an I-125 brachytherapy seed has recently been developed for radiobiological irradiation of spheroids. This study investigates a novel seed-through-film geometry suitable to validate the dosimetry of this device in the...
