Described herein are methods for reducing or maintaining the size of a tumor in a subject, where the method involves exposing the tumor to ionizing radiation and administering to the subject a modified hyaluronan or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or ester. The use of the modified hyaluronan enhances or potentiates the effect of ionizing radiation used in cancer treatment. Additionally, the methods described herein prevent or reduces tumor regrowth in the subject after exposing the tumor to ionizing radiation and administration of the modified hyaluronan to the subject.

A method of minimizing a patient's exposure to CT scan radiation during the mu-map generation process in a long axial field of view (FOV) PET scan includes performing a long axial FOV PET scan on a patient; performing one or multiple truncated FOV CT scan of a region in the patient's body in which the organs of interest lies; generating a truncated mu-map covering the truncated CT FOV; and generating a mu-map for the whole long axial FOV of the PET scan by extending the truncated mu-map generated from the truncated FOV CT scan by estimating the missing mu-map data using the PET data.

Versatile, multimode radiographic systems and methods utilize portable energy emitters and radiation-tracking detectors. The x-ray emitter may include a digital camera and, optionally, a thermal imaging camera to provide for fluoroscopic, digital, and infrared thermal imagery of a patient for the purpose of aiding diagnostic, surgical, and non-surgical interventions. The emitter may cooperative with an inventive x-ray capture stage that automatically pivots, orients and aligns itself with the emitter to maximize exposure quality and safety. The combined system uses less power, corrects for any skew or perspective in the emission, allows the subject to remain in place, and allows the surgeon's workflow to continue uninterrupted.

A computer-implemented method for a radiation therapy system includes: acquiring a first X-ray image of a region while the region is in a first location, the gantry is in a first imaging position, and a center axis of an imaging beam passes through an isocenter of the radiation therapy system along a first imaging path; acquiring a second X-ray image of the region while the region of patient anatomy is in the first location, the gantry is in a second imaging position, and the center axis of the imaging beam passes through the isocenter along a second imaging path, wherein an angle between the first imaging path and the second imaging path is a non-orthogonal angle; and based on the first X-ray image, the second X-ray image, and a three-dimensional treatment planning image of the region, determining an offset between a planning location for the region and the first location.

The present disclosure provides a thermomechanical actuator and a cleaning system implementing the thermomechanical actuator. The thermomechanical actuator includes a solar heat collector (SHC) housing shape memory alloy springs connected between a piston movably disposed therein and one end of the SHC. A cable extending from the piston through an opposite end of the SHC is connected to a bias load that develops returning force on the springs. In presence of solar radiation, the springs contract and cause linear movement of the piston in a direction of contraction and, in absence of the solar radiation, the springs expand and cause linear movement of the piston in direction of expansion. Useful power and work is extracted in form of the cleaning system from such linear movement of the piston.
