To stimulate clinical transfer, we evaluated whether this effect could also occur in higher mammals.Pig skin was used to investigate a potential difference in toxicity between irradiation delivered at an ultrahigh dose rate called "FLASH-RT" and irradiation delivered at a conventional dose rate called...
