Purpose: We conducted a multi-institutional dosimetric audit between FLASH and conventional dose rate (CONV) electron irradiations by using an anatomically realistic 3-dimensional (3D) printed mouse phantom.

Methods And Materials: A computed tomography (CT) scan of a live mouse was used to create a 3D model of bony anatomy, lungs, and soft tissue. A dual-nozzle 3D printer was used to print the mouse phantom using acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (∼1.

We conducted a multi-institutional audit of dosimetric variability between FLASH and conventional dose rate (CONV) electron irradiations by using an anatomically realistic 3D-printed mouse phantom. A CT scan of a live mouse was used to create a 3D model of bony anatomy, lungs, and soft tissue. A dual-nozzle 3D printer was used to print the mouse phantom using acrylonitrile butadiene styrene ($~1.

Article Synopsis
  • The study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of conjugated estrogen vaginal cream in postmenopausal women with pelvic organ prolapse, comparing its effects to a placebo during and after surgery over 12 months.
  • The trial involves a randomized, double-blind design to ensure the integrity of results, with a primary focus on surgical success defined by specific criteria, and secondary assessments exploring overall quality of life and related symptoms.
  • With 204 women recruited and 197 randomized, the study is underway to generate evidence on the role of estrogen therapy as a supportive treatment for women undergoing surgical repair for pelvic organ prolapse.
