Characterization of a flexible a-Si:H detector for in vivo dosimetry in therapeutic x-ray beams

Sylvain Dunand, Nicolas Würsch, Luca Massimiliano Antognini, Jonathan Emanuel Thomet, Matthew James Large

BackgroundThe increasing use of complex and high dose-rate treatments in radiation therapy necessitates advanced detectors to provide accurate dosimetry. Rather than relying on pre-treatment quality assurance (QA) measurements alone, many countries are now ...

Single-projection reconstruction technique for positioning monodisperse spheres in 3D with a divergent x-ray beam

Edward Carlo Giorgio Andò

The measurement of the position of single-sized spheres in 3D from a single, divergent, radiographic projection is addressed in the present study with the development of a novel method. Generally speaking, the location of the shadow cast by a single sphere ...

The Quest for Molecular Grippers: Photo-Electric Control of Molecular Gripping Machinery

Jovana Milic

The quest for nanoscale molecular machines has inspired the search for their close relatives, molecular grippers. This path was paved by the development of resorcin[4]arene cavitands and their quinone-based redox-active congeners. In this Concept article, ...

In vivo measurement of the tissue oxygenation by time-resolved luminescence spectroscopy of protoporphyrin IX: Strategies to minimize artefacts associated with photoproducts

Georges Wagnières, Emmanuel Louis Arthur Gerelli, Veronika Huntosova

The determination of the oxygen partial pressure (pO(2)) in real time in living biological tissues is of high interest for numerous therapeutics, including photodynamic therapy (PDT) and radiotherapy. The minimally invasive and real-time measurement of the ...

Full-field measurement of micromotion around a cementless femoral stem using micro-CT imaging and radiopaque markers

Dominique Pioletti, Alexandre Terrier, Valérie Hélène Emilie Malfroy Camine, Hannes Andreas Rüdiger

A good primary stability of cementless femoral stems is essential for the long-term success of total hip arthroplasty. Experimental measurement of implant micromotion with linear variable differential transformers is commonly used to assess implant primary ...

Tridentate Benzimidazole-Pyridine-Tetrazolates as Sensitizers of Europium Luminescence

Rosario Scopelliti, Jean-Claude Bünzli, Svetlana Eliseeva

We report on new anionic tridentate benzimidazole-pyridine-tetrazolate ligands that form neutral 3:1 complexes with trivalent lanthanides. The ligands are UV-absorbing chromophores that sensitize the red luminescence of europium with energy-transfer effici ...

Luminescence studies on photostimulable phosphor CsBr:Eu2+

Giovanni Dietler, Serguei Sekatski, Kanat Dukenbayev

Photostimulable phosphor CsBr:Eu2+ is prepared through a solid-state reaction. The effect of annealing atmosphere on photoluminescence and photostimulated luminescence was investigated. Optimum luminescence intensity was obtained when samples were prepared ...

First characterization of the SPADnet sensor: a digital silicon photomultiplier for PET applications

Edoardo Charbon, Claudio Bruschini, Gabor Nemeth

Silicon Photomultipliers have the ability to replace photomultiplier tubes when used as light sensors in scintillation gamma-ray detectors. Their timing properties, compactness, and magnetic field compatibility make them interesting for use in Time-of-Flig ...

N-Aryl Chromophore Ligands for Bright Europium Luminescence

Rosario Scopelliti, Jean-Claude Bünzli, Svetlana Eliseeva

Sterically hindered N-aryl-benzimidazole pyridine-2-carboxylic acids (aryl = phenyl, 4-biphenyl, 2-naphthyl) readily form homoleptic, neutral, nine-coordinate europium complexes which display efficient sensitized luminescence in solid state and in dichloro ...

Low-dose, simple, and fast grating-based X-ray phase-contrast imaging

Marco Stampanoni, Ziyu Wu

Phase sensitive X-ray imaging methods can provide substantially increased contrast over conventional absorption-based imaging and therefore new and otherwise inaccessible information. The use of gratings as optical elements in hard X-ray phase imaging over ...

2,2’-Bipyrimidine as Efficient Sensitizer of the Solid-State Luminescence of Lanthanide and Uranyl Ions from Visible to Near-Infrared

Jean-Claude Bünzli, Frédéric Gumy

Treatment of Ln(NO3)3.nH2O with 1 or 2 equiv 2,2-bipyrimidine (BPM) in dry THF readily afforded the monometallic complexes [Ln(NO3)3(bpm)2] (Ln=Eu, Gd, Dy, Tm) or [Ln(NO3)3(bpm)2]THF (Ln=Eu, Tb, Er, Yb) after recrystallization from MeOH or THF, respectivel ...

Benzothiazole- and Benzoxazole-Substituted Pyridine-2-Carboxylates as Efficient Sensitizers of Europium Luminescence

Rosario Scopelliti, Jean-Claude Bünzli, Frédéric Gumy

A facile synthesis of benzothiazole- and benzoxazole-substituted pyridine-2-carboxylic acids has been developed. These ligands form mononuclear nine-coordinate complexes [Ln(κ3-ligand)2(κ1-ligand)(H2O)2] with light and heavy trivalent lanthanides, as estab ...

Hard X-ray phase imaging and tomography using a grating interferometer

Amela Groso, Christian David, Marco Stampanoni

An interferometric technique for hard X-rays is presented. It is based on two transmission gratings and a phase-stepping technique, and it provides separate radiographs of the phase and absorption profiles of bulk samples. Tomographic reconstruction yields ...
