Background: Covered stent correction for a sinus venosus atrial septal defect (SVASD) was first performed in 2009. This innovative approach was initially viewed as experimental and was reserved for highly selected patients with unusual anatomic variants. In 2016, increasing numbers of procedures began to be performed, and in several centers, it is now offered as a standard of care option alongside surgical repair.

Radiation detection (dosimetry) most commonly uses scintillating materials in a wide array of fields, ranging from energy to medicine. Scintillators must be able to not only fluoresce owing to the presence of a suitable chromophore but also withstand damage from radiation over prolonged periods of time. While it is inevitable that radiation will cause damage to the physical and chemical properties of materials, there is limited understanding of features within solid-state scintillators that afford increased structural integrity upon exposure to gamma (γ) radiation.
