Abstract: A kV dual tube system has been disseminated as a commercial research platform for preclinical FLASH radiotherapy (RT). Because the tubes are arranged in a parallel opposed geometry, both output symmetry and time resolved tube synchronization are critical for achieving sufficiently high dose rates (DR) and reproducible study results. We quantified tube output asymmetry observed in depth dose measurements as well as tube synchronization and evaluated their impact on FLASH studies. The dual-tube system defines dose per pulse as the combined single pulse output from both tubes, with DR given by dose per pulse/pulse length. 3D dose distributions were reconstructed from film measurements to assess the impact of output discrepancies. Pulse synchronization between tubes was characterized using a scintillator with 1 ms resolution. We showed >20% discrepancies in output at nominally equal mA/ms settings. After we compensated such discrepancy by decreasing the current of the tube with higher output, the inter tube output difference was reduced to <1%, restoring symmetrical depth dose. We further simulated an in vivo intestinal irradiation in which naive tube settings resulted in >22% of the organ volume receiving >102% of the prescribed dose, compared with <7% when output compensation was applied. We identified a 10.2 /- 7.0ms synchronization jitter between tubes, which disproportionately impacts the DR at low dose-per-pulse settings, particularly relevant for fractionated studies. Corresponding quality assurance (QA) was designed to monitor tube synchronization over time. We quantified the dosimetric impact of asymmetric output and synchronization and demonstrated implications for preclinical studies. The proposed methodology and QA would mitigate and monitor these effects, ensuring study reproducibility.

Huh NOS? Het Red Team 'moest meedenken naast het OMT'? Van wie dan? Was het maar waar.
Het Red Team was een eigen intiatief, opgericht vanuit de zorg dat er bij het OMT mogelijk sprake was van group thinking en tunnelvisie.
Het OMT *en* het ministerie hebben nooit iets willen weten van het Red Team en de OMT-ers waren zelfs regelmatig de leden van het RT aan het bashen.

"Richard Hasen, a law prof. at UCLA, argued that the SCOTUS' 6-3 decision in Louisiana v. Callais "will go down in history as one of the most pernicious and damaging Supreme Court decisions of the last century. The decision will not only increase racial gerrymandering, but also strip millions of voters of "rudimentary fair representation" at all levels of government."

Abstract: FLASH radiotherapy (FLASH-RT) is the phenomenon of relative sparing of normal tissue when ultra-high dose rates (UHDR) are used compared with conventional dose rates (CDR) as clinically used. Despite extensive investigation, the underlying mechanisms remain unexplained. Among the proposed hypotheses, tissue oxygen has consistently been a central theme because oxygen is the most dominant factor known to modulate radiation-induced damage. The factors implicated in FLASH sparing include the baseline partial pressure of oxygen (pO2), transient radiolytic oxygen consumption (ROC), and oxygen-dependent changes in the chemistry of reactive oxygen species (ROS) that vary with dose rate. This review synthesizes current evidence on in vivo oxygen measurement techniques, highlighting their capabilities and limitations in capturing the spatial and temporal heterogeneity of tissue oxygenation. Key experimental studies in skin are summarized and interpreted by modulating oxygen levels via changes in inspired oxygen gas and vascular clamping interventions, demonstrating that the FLASH effect occurs only at intermediate baseline pO2 (normoxic or slightly hypoxic) values, but not at hypoxia or hyperoxia. Direct measurement of oxygen consumption during UHDR irradiation is possible, providing one of the first in situ measurements of radiation chemistry in patients. In parallel, recent advances in fast in vitro radiation chemistry assays indicate that UHDR irradiation alters radical yields, favoring increased production of solvated electrons and reduced hydroxyl radical mediated damage. Taken together, the available data suggest that the FLASH sparing effect arises from an interplay among the delivered dose and dose rate, local oxygen availability, and radiation chemistry, with tissue-specific variation in scavenging, leading to altered biological responses across the CDR-to-UHDR shift.
